Question: 1 / 400

How many square yards are in a square foot?

0.5 sq yd

1/9 sq yd

To determine how many square yards are in a square foot, it’s important to know the relationship between the units of feet and yards.

There are 3 feet in a yard. When calculating area, we square the conversion factor. So, if we take 3 feet per yard and square it, we have:

1 square yard = (3 feet) x (3 feet) = 9 square feet.

This indicates that 1 square yard is equivalent to 9 square feet. Therefore, to find out how many square yards are in 1 square foot, we take the reciprocal of this relationship:

1 square foot = 1/9 square yard.

This means that in each square foot, there is 1/9 of a square yard. Hence, the correct answer is that there are 1/9 square yards in a square foot.
