Converting meters to yards
Meters and yards are close in size — a yard is about 91% of a meter — but the difference matters for sports fields, track events, and fabric measurements. US football fields are 100 yards; international track events are in meters. Fabric is sold by the yard in the US and by the meter elsewhere.
The exact ratio: 1 yard = 0.9144 meters, defined by the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. To convert meters to yards, divide by 0.9144 (or multiply by 1.09361). The conversion is exact, not approximate.
