How many kilometers is 100 yards equal to?

100 yards is 100 kilometers. The term "yard" commonly used by Chinese people refers to one kilometer (KM). For example, driving 100 yards on the highway (omitting per hour), the highway speed limit is 120 yards, driving 120 yards at midnight, with a speed of around 160 yards [5], the dashboard speed has exceeded 150 yards. The "yard" mentioned by Chinese drivers is just a colloquialism, slang, or misnomer, and this unit of measurement does not actually exist. The correct unit and term for speed is kilometers per hour, abbreviated as Km/h in English. The conversion relationship between the imperial unit yard (YARD) and the metric unit is: 1 yard is approximately equal to 0.9144 meters.
I have experience with this conversion, as I always check the navigation when driving long distances. 100 mph is actually 100 miles per hour, and 1 mile is roughly a bit over 1.6 kilometers. Doing the math quickly, that's about 160 kilometers per hour. The other day on the highway, I glanced at the dashboard and saw that driving at 120 km/h is approximately 75 mph. Speed cameras measure in kilometers, so getting the conversion wrong can easily lead to a ticket.
Last time I taught my novice neighbor this calculation: 100 miles per hour is approximately equal to 160 kilometers. The maximum speed on domestic highways is 120 kilometers per hour, which converts to roughly 75 miles. The inner ring of the speedometer on imported cars displays smaller mile numbers, while the outer ring shows larger kilometer numbers. Make sure not to misread it to avoid speeding.
