In track meets both 100 yards and 100 meters are used as distances; by how many meters is 100 meters longer than 100 yards?
0.856 m
8.56 m
0.0856 m
1. 0 m
Explanation:
1 yard = 36 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
∴ 1 yard = 2.54 × 36 cm
100 Yards = $\dfrac{2.54 \times 36}{100}$ =91.44m
Difference (100m – 100 yards) = (100 –91.44)m = 8.56 m.
1 yard = 36 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
∴ 1 yard = 2.54 × 36 cm
100 Yards = $\dfrac{2.54 \times 36}{100}$ =91.44m
Difference (100m – 100 yards) = (100 –91.44)m = 8.56 m.
