How to Convert Meters to Yards
Example: How many yards are equivalent to 3.25 meters?
As;
1 meters = 1.093613 yards
3.25 meters = Y yards
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 3.25 times 1.093613 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 3.25 * 1.093613 / 1 = 3.55424225 yards
Answer is: 3.55424225 yards are equivalent to 3.25 meters.
