How to convert square feet to square yards?

To convert square feet to square yards, you need to understand the relationship between feet and yards. There are 3 feet in a yard, so:

1 yard = 3 feet

When you're dealing with square measurements, you need to square the conversion factor. So:

Let's start with your example of 1 square foot and then look at some other examples:

1. 1 square foot to square yards: $1 \text{ square foot} = \frac{1}{9} \text{ square yards} \approx 0.111 \text{ square yards}$

2. 100 square feet to square yards: $100 \text{ square feet} = \frac{100}{9} \text{ square yards} \approx 11.111 \text{ square yards}$

3. 200 square feet to square yards: $200 \text{ square feet} = \frac{200}{9} \text{ square yards} \approx 22.222 \text{ square yards}$

4. 500 square feet to square yards: $500 \text{ square feet} = \frac{500}{9} \text{ square yards} \approx 55.556 \text{ square yards}$

5. 1,000 square feet to square yards: $1,000 \text{ square feet} = \frac{1,000}{9} \text{ square yards} \approx 111.111 \text{ square yards}$
