Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to meters is 0.9144, which means that 1 yard is equal to 0.9144 meters:

1 yd = 0.9144 m

To convert 1 yard into meters we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 0.9144 m

1 yd → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 1 yd × 0.9144 m

L_(m) = 0.9144 m

The final result is:

1 yd → 0.9144 m

We conclude that 1 yard is equivalent to 0.9144 meters:

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 1.0936132983377 × 1 yard.

Another way is saying that 1 yard is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0936132983377 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one yard is approximately zero point nine one four meters:

1 yd ≅ 0.914 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately one point zero nine four times one yard.
