Question

use a proportion to convert the measurement.
70 yards ≈ \boxed{} meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 yard is approximately equal to 0.9144 meters. So we set up a proportion: $\frac{1\ \text{yard}}{0.9144\ \text{meters}}=\frac{70\ \text{yards}}{x\ \text{meters}}$, where $x$ is the number of meters we want to find.

Step2: Solve the proportion

Cross - multiply the proportion: $1\times x = 0.9144\times70$.
Calculate $0.9144\times70$: $0.9144\times70 = 64.008$.

Answer:

64.008 (If we round to a reasonable decimal place, it could also be approximately 64.01 or 64 depending on the required precision. But based on the calculation, the exact value from the proportion is 64.008)
