How to convert meters to yards
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 m = 1.09361 yd
1 yd = 0.9144 m
So, you can easily convert your quantity in meters to yards by simply multiply it by 1.09361
Hence, general formula to convert meters to yards:
p(yd) = 1.09361 × p(m), where p is the numerical value
For example:
Convert 10 meters to yards
10 m = 10 × 1.09361 yd = 10.9361 yd
