Convert measurements within a system and use unit reasoning to choose the correct scale.
Compare measurements in different units
Problem
Convert \(2~\text{yards}\) to feet.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Convert before comparing or reporting, because numbers attached to different units are not directly interchangeable. Multiply the given yards by a feet-per-yard factor arranged so yards cancel, then keep the remaining feet label with the product. A larger numeral is expected because feet divide the same length into smaller pieces.
