To find the number of centimeters in 1 yard, the best path would be:

yards to inches to centimeters

Here's the reasoning:

1 yard = 36 inches (conversion from yards to inches).
Then, you convert inches to centimeters using the fact that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.

So, starting from yards and converting to inches first, and then to centimeters, gives you the correct and most efficient path.
