How many feet is 12 yards when converted to feet?

36 ft
15 ft
48 ft
4 ft

The correct answer is: 36 ft

To convert yards to feet, it's essential to know the conversion factor between these two units. One yard is equivalent to 3 feet. To find out how many feet are in 12 yards, multiply the number of yards by the number of feet per yard: 12 yards × 3 feet/yard = 36 feet. This calculation shows that 12 yards equals 36 feet, making the first option the correct answer. Understanding this conversion is important for working with measurements in various contexts, whether in construction, sports, or everyday scenarios that require unit conversion.
