1 1 yard = 3 = 3 feet, 1 1 foot = 12 =12 inches and 1 1 m = 100 = 100 cm.

Then, 100 100 yards = 100 × 3 × 12 × 2.54 100 = 91.44 = \dfrac{100\times 3\times 12 \times 2.54}{100} = 91.44 m.

Therefore, 100 100 m − 100 - 100 yards = 100 − 91.44 = 8.56 =100 - 91.44 = \boxed{8.56} m.

I read this problem differently. How many meters is "100m longer than 100 yards". As it adding 100m to 100 yards. It might be less ambiguous to write "How many meters longer is 100m than 100 yards".
