How do you convert yards to feet?

Multiply by 2
Multiply by 3
Multiply by 12
Divide by 3

The correct answer is: Multiply by 12

To convert yards to feet, you use the fact that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to convert yards into feet, you should multiply the number of yards by 3. In this case, when you multiply by 3, you are essentially taking the number of yards you have and determining how many feet that corresponds to. For example, if you have 2 yards, multiplying by 3 gives you 6 feet (2 yards * 3 feet/yard = 6 feet). The other methods listed would not yield the correct conversion to feet from yards, as they do not reflect the correct relationship between these two units of measurement.
