48 feet is equivalent to 16 yards.

We know (by definition) that: 1 ft ≈ 0.33333333 yd

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of yards.

1   ft 48   ft ≈ 0.33333333   yd x   yd

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x   yd ≈ 48   ft 1   ft * 0.33333333   yd → x   yd ≈ 15.99999984   yd

Conclusion: 48   ft ≈ 15.99999984   yd

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 yard is equal to 0.0625 times 48 feet.

It can also be expressed as: 48 feet is equal to 1 0.0625 yards.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: forty-eight feet is about zero yards, or alternatively, a yard is about zero point zero six times forty-eight feet.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Feet

The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, both units have been defined by international agreement as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly. In both systems, the foot comprises 12 inches and three feet compose a yard.

Yards

The yard (abbreviation: yd) is an English unit of length, in both the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement, that comprises 3 feet or 36 inches. It is by international agreement in 1959 standardized as exactly 0.9144 meters. A metal yardstick originally formed the physical standard from which all other units of length were officially derived in both English systems.

[1] The precision is 15 significant digits (fourteen digits to the right of the decimal point).
