You should mark the lines every 9.144 meters apart if you want to maintain the same distance as marking them every 10 yards.
How to solve this problem
In this scenario, you need to mark the lines every 10 yards. Since you have a meter stick, you need to convert yards to meters to determine the distance between the lines.
1 yard is equal to 0.9144 meters.
To find out how far apart in meters you should mark the lines, you can multiply the distance in yards (10 yards) by the conversion factor:
10 yards * 0.9144 meters/yard = 9.144 meters
Therefore, you should mark the lines every 9.144 meters apart if you want to maintain the same distance as marking them every 10 yards.
At a school picnic, your teacher asks you to mark a field every 10 yards so students can play football. The teacher accidentally gave you a meter stick instead of a yard stick. How far apart in meters should you mark the lines if you still want them?
