Question

Convert 5 1/4 yards to meters write the answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answer 1

We know that one yard is equivalent to 0.9144 meters.
We are given the number of yards = 5 (1/4) yards. To know the equivalent number of meters, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
number of meters = (5 1/4 * 0.9144) / 1 = 4.8006 meters

Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth, we would get 4.8 meters
