Full precision:5.5 yd
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 rods to yards, we multiply by 5.5 because one rod equals exactly 5.5 yards.
1 rod = 5.5 yards
Since each rod contains 5.5 yards, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 5.5 = 5.5 yards
So 1 rods = 5.5 yards.
Quick check: 5.5 ÷ 5.5 = 1 rods
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 rd = 5.5 yd
1 × 5.5 = 5.5
1 × 5.5 = 5.5
Example 2: 5 rd = 27.5 yd
5 × 5.5 = 27.5
5 × 5.5 = 27.5
Example 3: 10 rd = 55 yd
10 × 5.5 = 55
10 × 5.5 = 55
