Where this conversion comes up

Common mistakes
- Multiplying instead of dividing. A square yard is larger than a square foot, so the number of square yards must come out smaller: 120 square feet = 13.3333 yd².
- Rounding too early. Keep the full factor until the last step; rounding 0.111 to 0.1 first puts large values noticeably off.
