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 18 yards into meters we have to multiply 18 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

18 yd → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 18 yd × 0.9144 m

L_(m) = 16.4592 m

The final result is:

18 yd → 16.4592 m

We conclude that 18 yards is equivalent to 16.4592 meters:

18 yards = 16.4592 meters
