Meters to Yards Conversion Formula

Meters to Yards is a way of converting a length in meters to yards. Let’s convert 1 meter to yards. 

1 meter $= 100$ cm

1 cm $= 0.0109361$ yards

100 cm $= 0.0109361 \times 100 = 1.09361$ yards

Thus, we get the conversion factor as

1 meter $= 1.09361$ yards 

Thus, the meters to yards formula is given by

Length in yards $=$ Length in meters $1.09361$

Thus, we can say that a meter is a little longer than a yard. To convert a given length in meters to yards, simply multiply it by 1.09361.

Example: 200 meters to yards $= 200 \times 1.09361 = 218.7227$ yards
