Answer:


\textsf{131.2\;yards}

Explanation:

According to the given conversion table, to convert meters to yards, we need to divide the number of meters by 9.144 × 10⁻¹.

Therefore:


(120)/(9.144 * 10^(-1))


\textsf{Apply the exponent rule:} \quad (1)/(a^(-n))=a^n


=(120 * 10^1)/(9.144)


=(120 * 10)/(9.144)


=(1200)/(9.144)


= 131.2335958...


= 131.2\; \sf (nearest\;tenth)

Therefore, 120 meters is equivalent to 131.2 yards (rounded to the nearest tenth).
