Simple Formula
take the square feet x thickness / 27 equals cubic yards
16 ft2 x 1 foot thick equals .59 cubic yards
or
16 ft2 x four inches (.33 of one foot) / 27 equals .19 cubic yards
or add the inches
16 ft2 x one inch (.0833 of a foot) / 27 equals .049 Cubic yards per inch take that and multiply your inches
.049 x 3 (inches) equals .147 cubic yards

If you're asking how many square yards in 16 square feet -
1 square yard = 3 ft x 3 ft = 9 square feet.
16 square feet / 9 square feet = 1.7778 square yards.

1.78 sq. yds. For detailed understanding pl read the following:
1 yd = 3 ft.
1 sq.yd. = 9 sq.ft.
1ft. = 12 inches
1sq.ft. = 144 inches
16 sq.ft. = 1.78 sq.yds. As u have given the area 16 sq.ft. so the conversion will also be in sq. yds. Otherwise 3 ft. = 1 yd.

Question is wrong.
Yard is a unit of length whereas square foot is unit of area and hence both can not be compared
