To convert 6 1/2 yards to feet, you can use the conversion factor that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Multiply the number of yards by 3 to convert to feet, then add the conversion of the remaining fraction (1/2 yard) to feet.

[ 6 , \text{yards} \times 3 , \text{feet/yard} = 18 , \text{feet} ]

[ \frac{1}{2} , \text{yard} \times 3 , \text{feet/yard} = 1.5 , \text{feet} ]

Now, add both results together:

[ 18 , \text{feet} + 1.5 , \text{feet} = 19.5 , \text{feet} ]

So, 6 1/2 yards is equal to 19.5 feet.
