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 500 yards into meters we have to multiply 500 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

500 yd → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 500 yd × 0.9144 m

L_(m) = 457.2 m

The final result is:

500 yd → 457.2 m

We conclude that 500 yards is equivalent to 457.2 meters:

500 yards = 457.2 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.0021872265966754 × 500 yards.

Another way is saying that 500 yards is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021872265966754 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred yards is approximately four hundred fifty-seven point two meters:

500 yd ≅ 457.2 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero zero two times five hundred yards.
