#"300 ft"#

Explanation:

Since #"1 yard = 3 feet"#, we can multiply #"100 yd"# by #"3 ft" / "1 yd"#. We are essentially multiplying by #1#, but doing so allows us to cancel out the #"yd"# unit so that we are left with only #"ft"#.

#("100" cancel("yd")) / 1 * "3 ft" / ("1" cancel("yd")) = "300 ft"#
