In terms of just units:
[ cm / meter ] x [ inches / cm ] x [ feet / inch ] x [ yards / foot ] = [ yards / meter ]
--------------------
+%28+100+%2F+1+%29%2A%28+1+%2F+2.54+%29%2A%28+1+%2F+12+%29%2A%28+1+%2F+3+%29+
+%28+100+%2F+2.54+%29%2A%28+1+%2F+36+%29+
+100+%2F+91.44+=+1.0936+
1.09 yards = 1 meter
