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 5 yards into meters we have to multiply 5 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
5 yd → L(m)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:
L(m) = 5 yd × 0.9144 m
L(m) = 4.572 m
The final result is:
5 yd → 4.572 m
We conclude that 5 yards is equivalent to 4.572 meters:
5 yards = 4.572 meters
