Transcript text: Make the following conversion. Round to 2 decimal places, if necessary. 8 m to yards
Solution
Solution Steps
To convert meters to yards, we use the conversion factor where 1 meter is approximately equal to 1.09361 yards. Multiply the given value in meters by this conversion factor to get the value in yards. Finally, round the result to 2 decimal places.
Step 1: Conversion Factor
To convert meters to yards, we use the conversion factor:
\[
1 \, \text{meter} \approx 1.09361 \, \text{yards}
\]
Step 2: Calculate Yards
We multiply the given value in meters by the conversion factor:
\[
\text{yards} = 8 \, \text{meters} \times 1.09361 \, \text{yards/meter} = 8.74888 \, \text{yards}
\]
Step 3: Round to Two Decimal Places
We round the result to two decimal places:
\[
\text{yards rounded} = 8.75 \, \text{yards}
\]
