How to convert 335.5 feet to yards?

Foot

Foot is a unit of length in the British Imperial System and the United States Customary Unit System. The standard symbol of the foot is ft. It is also denoted by a prime symbol (′).

The unit's name indicates and is believed to be based on the human foot. Since ancient times, the foot has been widely used in European countries and the United States. The length of the foot was different from country to country. Different rulers defined their feet, making the previous one obsolete. This created great confusion for international and intercontinental trade. To overcome this confusion of variation in the unit values, seven countries, including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, and the United Kingdom, signed the International Yard and Pound Agreement in 1959 that defined the yard value as exactly 0.9144 meters. This consequently made the value of the international foot exactly 0.3048 meters.

The foot is used to measure the lengths of objects and small distances. The square foot, the unit derived from the foot, is used to measure the area of a two-dimensional space. To distinguish area and length measurements, the term linear foot is used to indicate the length of the material in feet instead of the area. In aviation, the altitude of flight levels is commonly used in hundred-foot increments. For example, a flight level 320 indicates an altitude of 32000 feet. The dimensions of shipping containers are measured in feet.

Yard

The yard is a unit of length in both the British Imperial System and the United States Customary Units system.

The root of the yard unit lies in ancient English times, when various rulers of England defined the length of the yard based on their body measures or some already existing prototypes. Although the definition of the yard unit was changed in the times of different rulers, its actual length was not much changed and remained almost the same throughout.

The current value of the international yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, which was defined in the International Yard and Pound Agreement, signed by seven countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States in 1959.

Yard is primarily used to measure shorter distances. Apart from measuring distances, the yard is also used in the textile industry to measure cloth sizes and in sports to measure field lengths. The square yard and cubic yard are the units derived from yards, which are used to measure area and volume, respectively.
