Solution

Solution Steps

To convert yards to meters, we use the conversion factor where 1 yard is approximately equal to 0.9144 meters. Multiply the given measurement in yards by this conversion factor to get the measurement in meters. Finally, round the result to 2 decimal places.

Step 1: Conversion Factor

To convert yards to meters, we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ yard} \approx 0.9144 \text{ meters} \]

Step 2: Calculate Meters

We multiply the given measurement in yards by the conversion factor: \[ \text{meters} = 31 \text{ yards} \times 0.9144 \text{ meters/yard} = 28.3464 \text{ meters} \]

Step 3: Rounding

We round the result to two decimal places: \[ \text{rounded meters} = 28.35 \]
