$1230 yd$ $"1230 yd"$ $=$ $=$ $3690 ft$ $"3690 ft"$

Explanation:

Identify the relationship between yards (yd) and feet (ft).

$3 ft = 1 yd$ $"3 ft = 1 yd"$

There are two unit multipliers, also called conversion factors that equal $1$ $1$ .

$\frac{3 ft}{1 yd}$ $"3 ft"/"1 yd"$ $=$ $=$ $\frac{1 yd}{3 ft}$ $"1 yd"/"3 ft"$ $=$ $=$ $1$ $1$

Because these unit multipliers both equal $1$ $1$ , we can use one of them to convert from one unit to another. Multiply the given dimension in the question by the unit multiplier with the desired unit in the numerator.

$1230cancel"yd"xx(3color(white)(.)"ft")/(1cancel"yd")="3690 ft"$
