pro tips
Divide by 3: 300 feet is 100 yards — the football field of every broadcast.
10 feet is 3 yards and 1 foot; the remainder is the tell.
A yard of fabric is 3 feet, which is why both units fit the same shelf.
what it does
One yard is 3 feet, so a foot is 0.333 yards. Divide feet by 3 and the yards appear, which is the imperial system being unusually kind: a whole number of feet to a yard.
It shows up on a football field (300 feet is 100 yards, the number every announcer repeats), in fabric and flooring sold by the yard but cut in feet, in property lines measured in feet and quoted in yards, and anywhere the two imperial siblings get compared out loud.
The shortcut is divide by 3: 3 feet is 1 yard, 9 feet is 3 yards, 300 feet is 100 yards, and the awkward ones are the remainders — 10 feet is 3 yards 1 foot, which is where the arithmetic stops being polite.
