To convert 265 yards into meters we have to multiply 265 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

265 yd → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 265 yd × 0.9144 m

L_(m) = 242.316 m

The final result is:

265 yd → 242.316 m

We conclude that 265 yards is equivalent to 242.316 meters:
