Always use your conversion factors (ratio's that = 1 and incorporate both units),
As @Data_LG2 said, using yards and feet, our factor is 1-foot = 3-yards.

When you solve, make sure your unit's will cancel.

You are given the feet, 350. so set your equation up as:

1ft           x yd's
---    =  ------  Then all you do is cross multiply. 350ft = 3x (yd's).
3yd's       350ft

Dividing by 3 on both sides we get 350/3 = 116.67
Answer should reflect 117. I think!
