Solution

To convert feet to yards, you need to know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

Here are the steps to find out how long 8 feet is in yards:

  1. Identify the conversion rate: 1 yard = 3 feet
  2. Divide the total feet by the conversion rate: 8 feet ÷ 3 = 2.6667 yards
  3. To convert this to a mixed number, you know that 2 yards is 2.0, so subtract this from 2.6667 to find the fractional part: 2.6667 - 2.0 = 0.6667 yards
  4. To convert this fraction to a simpler form, we know that 0.6667 is approximately 2/3.

So, 8 feet is equal to 2 2/3 yards.
