How to Convert Yards to Kilometers
Example: How many kilometers are equivalent to 15.29 yards?
As;
1 yards = 0.000914 kilometers
15.29 yards = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 15.29 times 0.000914 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 15.29 * 0.000914 / 1 = 0.01397506 kilometers
Answer is: 0.01397506 kilometers are equivalent to 15.29 yards.
