Answer 1

100 meters is 8.6 meters longer than 100 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of yards to meters.

Each yard has 0.914 meters.

So 100 yards is 100*0.9144 = 91.4 meters.

How many meters longer to the nearest tenth is 100 meters than 100 yards?

100 yards = 91.4 meters

100 - 91.4 = 8.6

So 100 meters is 8.6 meters longer than 100 yards.
