How to Convert Yards to Feet

The direct yards to feet formula is:

If the length is given in yards, multiply by 3 to get the same length in feet. The factor is exact, so a correct result does not depend on rounding or a decimal approximation. Whole yard values always convert to whole feet because each yard contains exactly 3 feet.

For example, to convert 14 yards to feet:

So 14 yards equals 42 feet. Decimal yard values use the same formula. For example, \(2.5 \text{ yd} \times 3 = 7.5 \text{ ft}\). The operation stays the same; only the number changes.

The reverse formula is:

For example, 27 feet is:

That reverse direction is useful when a plan, product, or field measurement is written in feet but a supplier, sport context, or worksheet expects yards.

Why 1 Yard Equals 3 Feet

Yards and feet are part of the same customary length system. The yard is defined as 3 feet, and each foot contains 12 inches. This gives two linked relationships:

Combining them gives the inch relationship:

This is why a yards to feet converter should use 3 exactly. There is no decimal factor to approximate in the forward direction. Decimal results appear only when a yard value includes a fraction or when a foot value is divided by 3 and does not divide evenly.

The yard is also tied to metric units through the international yard definition. One yard equals exactly 0.9144 meter, so one foot equals exactly 0.3048 meter. If you need metric output, use the yards to meters converter, yards to cm converter, or yards to mm converter depending on the scale required.

Yards to Feet Conversion Table

Use this table for common yard values. The feet column uses the exact factor of 3 feet per yard. The inches column is included because many practical measurements move from yards to feet and then to inches for cutting, layout, or product detail.

If the final answer needs smaller detail, use the yards to inches converter. If the distance becomes very large, the yards to miles converter or miles to feet converter may be easier to read.

Feet to Yards Conversion

The reverse conversion is common when a measurement is collected in feet but must be reported in yards. Use:

For example, 60 feet is:

So 60 feet equals 20 yards. If a foot value does not divide evenly by 3, the yard result may be a decimal or mixed value. For example:

That is 6 yards and 2 feet, because 6 full yards account for 18 feet and 2 feet remain. Mixed form is often easier for physical measurement, while decimal yards are better for formulas and spreadsheets.

A good check is that yards are larger than feet. When converting feet to yards, the number should become smaller. If 30 feet becomes 90 yards, the operation has been reversed. The correct result is 10 yards.

Worked Yards to Feet Examples

Example 1: Convert 1 yard to feet

One yard equals 3 feet. This is the anchor relationship for every calculation on this page.

Example 2: Convert 2.5 yards to feet

So 2.5 yards equals 7.5 feet. In inches, 7.5 feet is 90 inches.

Example 3: Convert 8 yards to feet

So 8 yards equals 24 feet. This is a common scale for room, lumber, landscape, and sports-field estimates.

Example 4: Convert 0.75 yard to feet

Three quarters of a yard equals 2.25 feet, or 27 inches. For cutting, the inch form may be more useful than the decimal-foot form.

Example 5: Convert 12.25 yards to feet

So 12.25 yards equals 36.75 feet. You can check the result by splitting 12.25 into 12 yards and 0.25 yard: \(12 \times 3 = 36\) and \(0.25 \times 3 = 0.75\), so the total is 36.75.

Example 6: Convert 250 feet to yards

So 250 feet is about 83.3333 yards. In mixed form, it is 83 yards and 1 foot, because 83 yards equals 249 feet and 1 foot remains.

Yards, Feet, and Inches Together

Many practical measurements are written as mixed customary units. A note may say 3 yd 2 ft, 4 yd 8 in, or 2 yd 1 ft 6 in. The safest method is to convert all parts into one unit before adding or comparing.

For 3 yd 2 ft:

So 3 yd 2 ft equals 11 feet. In yards, it is \(11 \div 3 = 3.666666...\) yd.

For 4 yd 8 in, convert to feet or inches consistently. Four yards is 12 feet. Eight inches is \( \frac{8}{12} = 0.666666...\) foot. The total is 12.666666... feet. In inches, the same measurement is \(4 \times 36 + 8 = 152\) inches.

For 2 yd 1 ft 6 in, convert each part to feet: 2 yards is 6 feet, 1 foot remains 1 foot, and 6 inches is 0.5 foot. The total is 7.5 feet. In inches, the total is 90 inches. If your final task requires inches, the yards to inches converter can give that direct detail.

Do not treat mixed units as decimals. Three yards 2 feet is not 3.2 yards, and four yards 8 inches is not 4.8 yards. Decimal notation uses tenths and hundredths of a yard, while mixed notation uses feet and inches. Convert the parts before entering them into a calculator.

Yards to Feet and Metric Units

Yards and feet are both customary units, but many projects also require metric comparisons. The useful metric relationships are:

For example, 6 yards is 18 feet. In meters, \(18 \times 0.3048 = 5.4864\) m. You could also calculate \(6 \times 0.9144 = 5.4864\) m. Both paths agree because the unit relationships are exact.

If you start with a foot measurement and need metric detail, the feet to millimeters calculator can be more direct. If your starting value is already in yards, use this page for feet, or use the yard-to-metric companion pages for metric output.

For small technical dimensions, millimeters are often clearer than feet. For human-scale dimensions, meters may be easier. For fabric and craft measurements, inches may remain most practical. Choosing the final unit is a communication decision after the conversion is correct.

Yards to Feet for Construction, Landscaping, and Layout

Construction and landscaping frequently use yards and feet together. Site distances may be described in yards, while product dimensions, spacing, boards, posts, and room measurements often use feet. Converting between the two lets broad layout measurements become practical installation values.

Suppose a fence run is 38 yards long. The foot length is:

If posts are placed every 6 feet, the pure interval count is \(114 \div 6 = 19\). Real layout still needs endpoint posts, gates, corners, terrain, and local requirements, but the conversion provides the correct baseline.

For landscaping fabric, edging, rope, hose, or cable, yards may be used for purchase quantity while feet are used for installation spacing. A 15-yard roll provides \(15 \times 3 = 45\) feet. If the job needs 42 feet, the roll provides 3 feet of theoretical extra material before cuts, overlap, waste, and routing changes.

For building and home improvement, feet are often easier than yards because tape measures, lumber, and room dimensions are commonly foot-based. A 4-yard wall segment is 12 feet. A 7.5-yard area edge is 22.5 feet. When the final step requires inch detail for cutting, convert the foot value to inches by multiplying by 12 or use a direct yard-to-inch conversion.

Yards to Feet in Sports and Field Measurements

Sports are one of the most familiar places where yards and feet appear together. American football uses yards for field position, but feet are often helpful for comparing smaller spaces or physical dimensions. A 10-yard distance equals 30 feet. A 100-yard field segment equals 300 feet.

For a football example, a 5-yard penalty is 15 feet. A 15-yard penalty is 45 feet. A first-down distance of 10 yards is 30 feet. These conversions help translate game language into everyday physical scale, especially for students or readers unfamiliar with field markings.

Golf uses yards for hole distances and shot planning. A 150-yard shot is 450 feet. That number is correct, but yards remain more practical for the sport because the distances are large. The best unit is the one that supports the decision. Feet are useful for short approach details, indoor spaces, or equipment dimensions; yards are better for course distance.

Swimming pools may be described in yards or meters. A 25-yard pool is 75 feet long, which is 900 inches and 22.86 meters. A 25-meter pool is longer, about 82.02 feet. The distinction matters for pacing and performance comparison. Do not treat yards and meters as interchangeable just because the numbers look similar.

If a sport distance grows into route scale, use the yards to miles converter or yards to km converter. Feet are useful for layout and field understanding, but they can become unwieldy for long routes.

Yards to Feet for Fabric, Craft, and Material Planning

Fabric is commonly sold by the yard, while some cutting tables, storage spaces, and room layouts are easier to describe in feet. One yard of fabric is 3 feet long along the roll. Two yards is 6 feet, 3 yards is 9 feet, and 5 yards is 15 feet. This makes it easy to imagine how much physical length a purchase provides.

If a pattern requires 4.5 yards of fabric, the foot length is:

That is 162 inches. The foot value is useful for room-scale planning, while the inch value is useful for cutting. The yard value remains useful for purchasing. A complete project may need all three forms.

For ribbon, trim, cord, and craft materials, a package may be described in yards while the project pieces are described in feet or inches. If a spool has 10 yards, it has 30 feet. If the project needs eight pieces of 3.5 feet each, the required length is \(8 \times 3.5 = 28\) feet. The spool leaves 2 feet before waste.

Remember that length along a roll is separate from width. A yard of fabric is 3 feet long, but the fabric may be 45 inches, 54 inches, 60 inches, or another width. If you are calculating area, convert both dimensions into compatible units before multiplying. Do not use a length conversion as though it were an area conversion.

Precision, Rounding, and Decimal Feet

Whole yards convert to whole feet, but fractional yards often produce decimal feet. A half yard is 1.5 feet, a quarter yard is 0.75 foot, and one third yard is exactly 1 foot. Whether a decimal-foot result is useful depends on the task.

In construction, decimal feet may need to be converted to feet and inches. For example, 7.5 feet is 7 feet 6 inches because 0.5 foot equals 6 inches. A result of 2.25 feet is 2 feet 3 inches because 0.25 foot equals 3 inches. The inch form is often easier when using a tape measure.

Round only at the end. If you round 2.333 yards to 2.33 yards before multiplying, the foot result is 6.99 feet. If the intended value was exactly \(2 \frac{1}{3}\) yards, the exact result is 7 feet. This shows why fractional source values should be preserved when possible.

For schoolwork, follow the requested decimal places or significant figures. For practical measurement, follow the smallest reliable mark on the measuring tool and the tolerance of the job. For purchasing, round up when a shortage would create a problem. The calculator gives the mathematical conversion; the final reporting choice should match the context.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using 12 instead of 3

Twelve inches make one foot, not one yard. One yard equals 3 feet. If you multiply yards by 12, you are converting yards as though each yard were one foot, which produces a result four times too large for feet.

Dividing when converting yards to feet

Feet are smaller than yards, so the number should become larger. Convert yards to feet by multiplying by 3. Convert feet to yards by dividing by 3.

Treating mixed units as decimals

Four yards 2 feet is not 4.2 yards. It is 4 yards plus 2 feet, which equals \(4 + \frac{2}{3}\) yards or 14 feet. Mixed notation must be converted part by part.

Confusing length with area

A yard-to-foot conversion is a length conversion. Square yards to square feet requires the factor squared:

Cubic yards to cubic feet requires the factor cubed:

Dropping the unit label

A final answer of 45 is incomplete. A complete answer is 15 yd = 45 ft. Unit labels prevent the number from being mistaken for yards, inches, meters, or another unit.

Manual Conversion Method Without a Calculator

Because the factor is 3, yards to feet is one of the easiest conversions to perform mentally. Multiply the yard value by 3. If the number is large, split it into convenient parts.

For 28 yards:

So 28 yards equals 84 feet. For 125 yards:

For fractional yards, use known benchmarks. A half yard is 1.5 feet, a quarter yard is 0.75 foot, three quarters of a yard is 2.25 feet, and one third of a yard is 1 foot. These values are useful in fabric, classroom measurement, and quick layout checks.

For feet to yards, divide by 3. If the foot value does not divide evenly, use mixed form. For example, 26 feet is 8 yards and 2 feet because \(8 \times 3 = 24\) and 2 feet remain. In decimal yards, it is \(26 \div 3 = 8.666666...\) yd.

How to Report Converted Measurements Clearly

A clear conversion statement includes the original value, formula, result, and final unit. For example:

This is better than simply writing 19.5 because the source and target units remain visible. In shared work, clear labeling helps another person verify the number quickly.

For tables, use separate columns for original yards, converted feet, and any inch detail. A row might show 2.75 yd, 8.25 ft, and 8 ft 3 in. This lets the same measurement support calculation, physical measuring, and communication.

For project notes, state whether a value is exact, rounded, estimated, or measured. A field dimension written as exactly 30 yards converts to exactly 90 feet. A rough statement such as "about 30 yards" should usually be reported as about 90 feet, not 90.000 feet.

When giving instructions to another person, choose the unit they can use directly. If someone is using a tape measure marked in feet and inches, give feet and inches. If someone is marking a football field, yards may be more natural. If both are helpful, show the first mention as "12 yd (36 ft)" and then continue with the primary unit.

Material Planning With Yards and Feet

Material planning often starts with a yard-based purchase and ends with foot-based installation. Convert all lengths into the unit used by the installation plan, add allowances, then convert back if needed for ordering. This keeps the buying quantity and working quantity connected.

Suppose a project needs 12 pieces of trim, each 4 feet long. The pure requirement is:

Convert to yards:

If the material is sold in 5-yard bundles, three bundles provide 15 yards and are short. Four bundles provide 20 yards. The conversion identifies the arithmetic need, while product packaging determines the purchase decision.

For cable, rope, edging, hose, fabric, and ribbon, think about cuts, overlap, knots, hems, fasteners, routing changes, and waste. If a job needs 29 feet and a roll contains 10 yards, the roll contains 30 feet. One foot remains before any allowance. That may be enough for a simple straight run, or it may be too tight for a real installation.

Length, Area, and Volume: Use the Right Power

Yards to feet is a one-dimensional length conversion. It applies to line lengths, field distances, material runs, fabric length, cable length, and a single dimension on a drawing. It does not automatically convert square yards to square feet or cubic yards to cubic feet.

For length:

For area:

For volume:

If a room is measured in yards and you need area in square feet, convert both dimensions or multiply the square-yard area by 9. If a soil or concrete problem uses cubic yards, multiply by 27 to get cubic feet. A superscript changes the quantity and the conversion rule.

Scale Drawings and Yard-Foot Conversion

Scale drawings often use feet, while real-world outdoor distances may be described in yards. Read the scale statement first. A drawing scale such as 1 inch = 10 feet is not the same as the physical conversion between yards and feet. The scale tells you how drawing length relates to real length.

If a garden path is 12 yards long, the real length is \(12 \times 3 = 36\) feet. If a plan scale says 1 inch represents 6 feet, the drawing length is:

The yard-to-foot conversion gives the real-world foot length. The scale then changes real-world feet into drawing inches. Keeping those steps separate prevents mixing real inches with drawing inches.

For model building, the same logic applies. First convert the real measurement into a single unit. Then divide by the scale ratio. If a real object is 3 yards long, it is 9 feet or 108 inches. At a 1:12 scale, the model length is \(108 \div 12 = 9\) inches.

Nearby Conversions Worth Checking

Yards to feet is ideal when the final answer should remain in customary units at a practical human scale. Other nearby conversions may be better when the task changes scale or measurement system.

Use the broader length converter, advanced length converter tool, or length conversion calculator when you need several length units in the same workflow. For broader categories, the unit converters, converters, and conversion pages can help you move beyond length-only calculations.

Classroom Strategy for Yards and Feet

Yards to feet is a strong early unit-conversion topic because the factor is exact, small, and easy to visualize. Students can understand the size relationship physically: a yardstick is 3 feet long. This makes the multiplication meaningful rather than arbitrary.

Using dimensional analysis, write:

The yard unit cancels, leaving feet. For the reverse direction:

This format helps students decide whether to multiply or divide. If the unwanted unit does not cancel, the factor is upside down.

Ask students to predict whether the number should get larger or smaller. When converting yards to feet, the number gets larger because feet are smaller. When converting feet to yards, the number gets smaller because yards are larger. This size check catches many errors before arithmetic begins.

Word problems may include extra information. If a field is 20 yards long and 10 yards wide, and the question asks only for length in feet, the width is irrelevant. Use \(20 \times 3 = 60\) feet. If the question asks for area, the width matters and the conversion rule changes to square units.

More Practical Examples

Example 7: Convert 0.333 yard to feet

If the intended value is exactly one third yard, use \( \frac{1}{3} \times 3 = 1\) foot. This shows why exact fractions can be better than rounded decimals.

Example 8: Convert 15 yards to feet and inches

In inches, 45 feet is \(45 \times 12 = 540\) inches. The direct yard-to-inch route gives \(15 \times 36 = 540\) inches, so both methods agree.

Example 9: Convert 1.125 yards to feet

This equals 3 feet 4.5 inches because 0.375 foot is 4.5 inches.

Example 10: Convert 1000 feet to yards

That is 333 yards and 1 foot, because 333 yards equals 999 feet and 1 foot remains.

Example 11: Convert a 25-yard pool to feet

The pool length is 75 feet. In inches it is 900 inches, and in meters it is 22.86 m.

Choosing the Best Unit After Converting

A correct calculation is only part of a useful answer. After converting yards to feet, decide whether the foot value is actually the clearest unit for the job. Feet are excellent for room dimensions, construction layout, short field distances, fence runs, rope, cable, and project notes that will be read alongside a tape measure. Yards are often better when the number describes a sport field, fabric purchase, large lawn, outdoor route, or a measurement where the yard is the familiar standard.

For example, 4 yards equals 12 feet. Both statements are correct, but they do different communication work. "4 yd of fabric" sounds like a purchase quantity. "12 ft of fabric" helps you picture how much length lies across a room or cutting table. If the same project goes from ordering to measuring to cutting, it may be worth recording both units in one line: 4 yd = 12 ft = 144 in.

Use feet when the converted value will be added to other foot measurements. If a shed wall is 9 feet, a walkway is 18 feet, and a fence section is originally listed as 7 yards, convert the yard measurement first:

Now all three lengths are in feet, so they can be compared or added without mental juggling. The total of 9 feet, 18 feet, and 21 feet is 48 feet. If you had added 9 + 18 + 7 without converting, the total would have no useful meaning because the units would be mixed.

Use yards when the final decision is tied to yard-based purchasing or reporting. If a coach says an athlete ran 300 feet during a drill, converting back gives 100 yards. If a roll is sold by the yard, 27 feet of required length converts to 9 yards. In those cases the foot value is useful for arithmetic, but the yard value may be the final answer.

Use inches when the job moves from layout to cutting. A measurement of 2.25 feet is clear mathematically, but a tape measure user may prefer 2 feet 3 inches. Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, the decimal part of the foot value can be converted:

So 2.25 feet is 2 ft 3 in. This unit choice is not a different conversion rule; it is a practical presentation choice after the main yard-to-foot relationship has been applied.

Spreadsheet Workflow for Many Yard Measurements

When you have one measurement, the calculator is fastest. When you have a long list of measurements, a spreadsheet can be more useful. Put the original yard values in one column, convert them into feet in the next column, and keep notes or item names in a separate column. This gives a clean audit trail for estimates, classroom tables, sports data, landscape plans, or inventory checks.

If the yard value is in cell A2, the feet formula is:

In a spreadsheet cell, that would usually be written as A2*3. If the foot value is in cell B2 and you need yards, use B2/3. The key is to label the columns clearly. A useful heading is "Length in yards (yd)" for the original value and "Length in feet (ft)" for the converted value.

For mixed measurements such as 5 yd 2 ft, do not place 5.2 in the yard column. That would mean five and two tenths yards, not five yards and two feet. Use separate columns for yards and extra feet, then calculate total feet:

If the yard part is in A2 and the extra feet part is in B2, the spreadsheet formula is A2*3+B2. For 5 yd 2 ft, the result is 17 feet. A separate column can convert that back into decimal yards with total feet divided by 3.

Spreadsheets also help with rounding policy. Keep one unrounded calculation column and one display column. For example, if 1.3333 yards becomes 3.9999 feet, the display column might show 4.00 feet while the calculation column preserves the original precision. This reduces accumulated rounding error when many converted values are added together.

For estimates, add a notes column that states whether each length is exact, measured, rounded, or assumed. The arithmetic conversion is exact, but real-world measurements may not be. A tape-measured length of 11.9 yards is not the same kind of information as a rule-defined field distance of exactly 10 yards. The spreadsheet should preserve that difference.

Measurement Tolerance and Rounding in Real Projects

The conversion \(1 \text{ yd} = 3 \text{ ft}\) is exact, but the measured value you enter may not be exact. If someone says a garden bed is "about 8 yards" long, the converted value is about 24 feet. It should not be reported as 24.0000 feet because the original measurement did not justify that level of precision.

Think of precision as two separate questions. First, how exact is the unit relationship? For yards and feet, the relationship is exact. Second, how reliable is the input measurement? A survey drawing, marked sports field, informal step-off estimate, and quick tape measurement may all have different reliability. The conversion cannot make an uncertain measurement more certain.

If the input is rounded to the nearest yard, the converted answer is naturally rounded to the nearest 3 feet. A stated length of 12 yards could represent a value from about 11.5 yards to 12.5 yards if it was rounded conventionally. In feet, that range is about 34.5 feet to 37.5 feet. The converted value of 36 feet is the center of the rounded range, not a proof that the object is exactly 36 feet.

For construction and installation, rounding direction can matter. If you are cutting material, rounding down may create a shortage. If you are checking whether an object fits inside a space, rounding up may make the object appear too large. Use mathematical rounding for reporting, but use project-aware rounding for purchasing, cutting, clearance, and safety margins.

A simple practical rule is to keep at least one extra digit during calculation and round the final result for the decision. For example, convert 6.375 yards to 19.125 feet. If you are recording an estimate, 19.13 feet may be fine. If you are measuring with a tape, convert 0.125 foot to inches:

So the result is 19 ft 1.5 in. This form is more useful for physical work than a long decimal.

Estimating Materials From Yard and Foot Measurements

Yard-to-foot conversion is often a middle step in material estimating. Start by converting the measurement into the unit used by the installation, calculate the amount required, include waste or overlap, and then convert back to the purchasing unit if necessary. This sequence keeps the measurement logic clean.

Suppose a border is 18 yards long and edging is sold in 10-foot pieces. Convert the run first:

Divide by the piece length:

You cannot buy 5.4 pieces, so the minimum is 6 pieces before considering waste. If corners, cuts, joins, or damaged sections are likely, the practical purchase may be higher. The converter gives the length; the project requirements decide the allowance.

For fabric, if a curtain design needs two panels of 6 feet each and fabric is sold by the yard, the total required length is 12 feet. Convert to yards:

If hems or pattern matching require extra length, add that allowance before converting back to a purchase quantity. Adding allowances in the wrong unit can create errors. For example, a 6-inch allowance is 0.5 foot, not 0.5 yard.

For rope or cable, route shape matters. A straight 20-yard run is 60 feet. A route around corners may need extra length for slack, tie-offs, termination points, or bends. Record the converted straight-line length separately from the allowance. A good project note might read: 20 yd straight run = 60 ft, plus 5 ft allowance, total 65 ft.

For landscaping, distinguish between linear products and area products. Edging, hose, rope, and fence are linear, so yards to feet uses the factor 3. Mulch, sod, and fabric coverage often involve area, so square yards and square feet use the factor 9. Soil and concrete volume use cubic units, so cubic yards and cubic feet use the factor 27. Choosing the wrong dimensional power is one of the largest practical errors in material estimates.

How to Audit a Yards to Feet Conversion

Auditing a conversion means checking whether the number, unit, direction, and context all make sense. This is useful when reviewing homework, contractor notes, project estimates, fabric requirements, sport measurements, or spreadsheet outputs. The arithmetic is simple, but simple conversions are still easy to reverse accidentally.

Start with the size check. Feet are smaller than yards, so the foot number must be larger. If a value changes from 18 yards to 6 feet, the conversion direction is wrong. The correct conversion is:

Next, check the factor. The exact factor is 3, not 12 and not 36. Multiplying yards by 36 gives inches. Multiplying yards by 3 gives feet. If a result seems four times too large, someone may have used the inch factor by mistake and labeled the answer as feet.

Then check the unit label. A conversion line should include both units: 18 yd = 54 ft. Without the unit labels, the result is hard to verify later. Unit labels also prevent errors when the same note includes inches, meters, centimeters, or miles.

Finally, check whether the answer fits the task. If a table asks for feet, decimal feet may be acceptable. If the answer is being used with a tape measure, feet and inches may be clearer. If the problem is about area or volume, yards to feet may be only one step, not the final conversion. Auditing means confirming not just that the multiplication is correct, but that the result answers the actual question.

A quick four-part audit works well: identify the starting unit, identify the target unit, apply the factor, and compare the scale. For yards to feet, the scale comparison is always "three times as many feet as yards." If the final number passes that check and the unit label is correct, the conversion is very likely sound.

Quality Checklist Before You Use the Result

1. Confirm that the starting value is a linear yard measurement, not square yards or cubic yards.
2. Use the exact factor \(1 \text{ yd} = 3 \text{ ft}\).
3. Multiply yards by 3 when converting to feet.
4. Divide feet by 3 when converting back to yards.
5. Convert mixed yards, feet, and inches part by part before adding.
6. Round only after completing the calculation.
7. Check the scale: the foot value should be 3 times the yard value.
8. Keep unit labels visible in the final answer.

A complete conversion should read like a statement, not just a number. For example, 4.5 yd = 13.5 ft is clear. The number 13.5 alone is not enough because it could be feet, yards, inches, meters, or another unit.
