Convert the following unit lengths as indicated. (Answer is in tenths.)

120 meters =
yards

Answer 1

Answer:1312.332 tenths of a yard.

Explanation:

120 meters = 120 x 1.09361 yards = 131.2332 yards. Multiplying by 10 to get the answer in tenths, we get: 120 meters = 1312.332 tenths of a yard.

Answer 2

`\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).
