Yard (abbreviation: yd): is an English unit of length that comprises 3 feet or 36 inches, in both the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is standardized as exactly 0.9144 meters by international agreement in 1959.
How to Convert Centimeters to Yards
Example: How many yards are equivalent to 48.6 centimeters?
As;
1 centimeters = 0.010936 yards
48.6 centimeters = Y yards
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 48.6 times 0.010936 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 48.6 * 0.010936 / 1 = 0.5314896 yards
Answer is: 0.5314896 yards are equivalent to 48.6 centimeters.
