1. **State the problem:** We need to compare 1 yard and 3 feet to determine which is more or if they are equal. 2. **Recall the conversion rule:** 1 yard equals 3 feet. This is a standard conversion in customary units. 3. **Apply the conversion:** - 1 yard = 3 feet - 3 feet = 3 feet 4. **Compare the two quantities:** Since both equal 3 feet, they are equal. **Final answer:** Neither; they are equal.
