About meters and yards
A yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, so divide meters by 0.9144 to get yards. One meter is 1.09361 yards. For a quick estimate add 10%: 100 m gives 110 yards against the exact 109.36.
Athletics, swimming and soccer pitches are measured in meters, while golf, American football and US fabric stores use yards. Comparing a 400 m track with a quarter mile, or metric fabric with a pattern in yards, needs this conversion.
Examples
- 50 m (an Olympic swimming pool) is 54.68 yd
- 105 m (a standard soccer pitch) is 114.83 yd
- 400 m (one lap of a running track) is 437.45 yd
- 1,500 m (the 1500 m race, the metric mile) is 1,640.42 yd
