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.
Centimeter (abbreviation: cm): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the prefix for a factor of 1/100. The centimetre was the base unit of length in the now deprecated centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units.
How to Convert Yards to Centimeters
Example: How many centimeters are equivalent to 5.48 yards?
As;
1 yards = 91.44 centimeters
5.48 yards = Y centimeters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 5.48 times 91.44 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 5.48 * 91.44 / 1 = 501.0912 centimeters
Answer is: 501.0912 centimeters are equivalent to 5.48 yards.
