Answer :
To convert square yards to square meters, you will use the conversion factor that states how many square meters there are in one square yard. The conversion factor is necessary because these are units for measuring area in different systems - yards are commonly used in the United States, while meters are used in the International System of Units.
One square yard is equal to approximately 0.83612736 square meters.
To convert 125 square yards to square meters, you follow these steps:
1. Write down the conversion factor from square yards to square meters.
1 square yard = 0.83612736 square meters
2. Multiply the number of square yards you have (125) by the conversion factor:
125 square yards * 0.83612736 square meters/square yard = 104.51592 square meters
3. To round this number to the nearest tenth, you look at the hundredths place. If the hundredths place is 5 or above, you round up. If it is 4 or below, you round down.
Since in 104.51592, the hundredths place is a 1, we do not round up, so the number remains 104.5.
So, 125 square yards is equal to 104.5 square meters when rounded to the nearest tenth.
