How to convert 508 kilometers to yards?

We know (by definition) that: $1 km \approx 1093.6133 yd$

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of yards.

\frac{1 km}{508 km} \approx \frac{1093.6133 yd}{x yd}

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown $x$ :

x yd \approx \frac{508 km}{1 km} * 1093.6133 yd \to x yd \approx 555555.5564 yd

Conclusion: $508 km \approx 555555.5564 yd$
