To determine the best path to find the number of centimeters in 1 yard, let's break down the conversions you would need to perform.

1 yard = 3 feet
1 yard = 36 inches
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

From these relationships, if we start with yards, we can convert to inches, and then to centimeters:

  • Convert yards to inches: 1 yard = 36 inches
  • Then convert inches to centimeters: 36 inches x 2.54 centimeters/inch = 91.44 centimeters

Therefore, the best path is:

yards to inches to centimeters

So, the correct response is "yards to inches to centimeters."
