The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.

How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (m) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 1 | +0.08560 |
| 1 decimal | 0.9 | −0.01440 |
| 2 decimals | 0.91 | −0.00440 |
Round trip: take 0.91 m back the other way and you land on 0.9952 yd — a drift of 0.0048 yd. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
