Converting Meters to Yards

One meter is approximately equal to 1.1 yards.

For practical purposes we can use this conversion factor. Here we can apply MSC 4 – Multiplying by 11 to quickly convert meters to yards.

200 meters = 220 yards (1 furlong)

400 meters = 440 yards (1 quarter mile)

23 meters = 25.3 yards

324 meters = 356.4 yards

1 yard is exactly 36 inches x 2.54 centimeters/inch = 91.44 centimeters. 1.1 yards is 91.44cm.x 1.1=100.58 cm. or 1.0058 meters. The conversion 1 meter = 1.1 yard is more than 99% accurate.
