1 yard is 36 inches, 10 yards is 36 ft.
1 meter is 39.37 inches, 10 meters is 32.81 ft.
How can a measurement 3.37 inches longer multiplied by 10 be 3.19 ft shorter?
I'm not from MO, but you got to show me this.

Okay, try this, comparing feet to feet.
1 yard is three feet, 10 yards is 30 feet....not 36 feet...

You mathemagicians are making my head hurt.... >:(

I'm guilty of the same mistake so I just let Google do it for me... ::)
