Question

use a proportion to convert the measurement.
70 yards ≈ 64 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 yard is approximately equal to 0.9144 meters. So we can set up a proportion: $\frac{1\ \text{yard}}{0.9144\ \text{meters}}=\frac{70\ \text{yards}}{x\ \text{meters}}$.

Step2: Solve the proportion

Cross - multiply the proportion: $1\times x = 0.9144\times70$.
Calculate $0.9144\times70 = 64.008\approx64$.

Answer:

64
