How many feet are in a yard?

There are 3 feet in 1 yard.

Detailed answer

The yard is defined as exactly 3 feet in the US customary and imperial systems. When you convert yards to feet, multiply the number of yards by 3. When converting feet to yards, divide by 3. This ratio is exact and does not depend on the international yard’s meter definition.

Relationship context

Yards and feet are both imperial / US customary length units. Twelve inches equal one feet, and three feet make one yard. These relationships predate the metric system; today they are fixed relative to the meter (1 yd = 0.9144 m, 1 ft = 0.3048 m), so conversions between yards and feet remain exact integers.
