How the centimetres to yards converter works
Every length is converted through the metre, the SI base unit of length. The inch has been defined as exactly 25.4 mm since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, so a foot is exactly 0.3048 m, a yard 0.9144 m and a statute mile 1,609.344 m. The nautical mile is 1,852 m by international definition.
Australia is fully metric under the National Measurement Act 1960; imperial units appear only in trade with the US and in older documents.
