Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 1.1: 1 × 1.1 ≈ 1.1 yd, against the exact 1.093613 yd (0.6% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A meter is bigger than a yard, so the number of yards must come out larger than the number of meters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
