So, one meter is 1.0936133 yards (yeah, weird number).
So if you want to know, how many yards is 15 meters, you need to multiply 15 by 1.0936133. It is 16.4041995 yards. That is rounded to 16.40 yards. Check out this page: https://www.mathsisfun.com/rounding-numbers.html for rounding.
Also, I will be glad if you mark my answer as brainiest if you think, that it is the best answer for this question.
