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 550 yards into meters we have to multiply 550 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

550 yd → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 550 yd × 0.9144 m

L_(m) = 502.92 m

The final result is:

550 yd → 502.92 m

We conclude that 550 yards is equivalent to 502.92 meters:

550 yards = 502.92 meters
