Converting Yards to Meters - Example Problem

Changing over Yards to Meters Problem This model issue exhibits how to change over 100 yards to meters. The two yards and meters are normal units of length, so the transformation is straightforward: Yards to Meter Conversion Problemâ An American football field has 100 yards of playing field. How far is this in meters?SolutionStart out with a transformation factor: 1 yard 0.9144 metersSet up the transformation with the goal that the ideal unit will be counteracted. For this situation, we need m to be the rest of the unit.distance in m (separation in yard) x (0.9144 m/1 yd)distance in m (100 x 0.9144) mdistance in m 91.44 mAnswer100 yards is equivalent to 91.44 meters.Many change factorsâ are hard to recall. Feet to meters would fall into this class. A substitute technique to play out this transformation is to utilize different effectively recalled steps.1 yard 3 feet1 foot 12 inches1 inch 2.54 centimeters100 centimeters 1 meter Utilizing these means we can communicate a separation in meters from yards as:distance in m (separation in yd) x (3 ft/1 yd) (12 in/1 ft) x (2.54 cm/1 in) x (1 m/100 cm)distance in m (separation in yd) x 0.9144 m/ydNote this gives a similar transformation factor as above. The main thing to keep an eye out for will be for the halfway units to counteract.
