Convert yard to mile

Learn how to convert 1 yard to mile step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (y a r d) = x (m i l e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (y a r d) = 0.9144 (m e t e r) = 0.9144 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i l e) = 1852.0 (m e t e r) = 1852.0 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (y a r d) = x (m i l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.9144 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1852.0 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.9144 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1852.0 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.9144 \cdot (m) = x \times 1852.0 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.9144 = x \times 1852.0

Switch sides

x \times 1852.0 = 0.9144

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1852.0})

x \times 1852.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0} = 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0}

Cancel

x \times 1852.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0} = 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.9144}{1852.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0004937365 \approx 4.9374 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (y a r d) \approx 4.9374 \times 10^{- 4} (m i l e)
