Which unit is used to convert yards to meters?

Meter
Kilometer
Centimeter
Millimeter

The correct answer is: Meter

The unit used to convert yards to meters is the meter itself. In the metric system, meters are the standard unit of length, and when converting from yards (an imperial unit) to meters, you require the meter as the result of the conversion. To perform the conversion, one needs to know the conversion factor: 1 yard is approximately equal to 0.9144 meters. Therefore, when converting, you multiply the number of yards by 0.9144 to get the equivalent in meters. The other units listed, such as kilometers, centimeters, and millimeters, represent different scales of measurement and are not directly applicable to the conversion from yards to meters. Kilometers measure larger distances, while centimeters and millimeters measure smaller lengths. Consequently, the correct and most relevant unit for the conversion from yards to meters is indeed the meter.
