    First, let's find the equivalent of 1 meter to each of the US Standard choices (inches, feet, yards, miles).

    1 meter = 39.37 inches = 3.28 feet = 1.09 yards = 0.00062 miles

    Now, to find the metric equivalent of each of the choices, we multiply each of these by 4 (since we need to find a measurement equivalent to 4 meters), and check them against the choices.

    A. 0.28 miles.

    0.00062 x 4 = 0.0025

    0.0025 is much smaller than 0.28, so that won't work.

    B. 4.38 yards

    1.09 x 4 = 4.36

    4.36 is 0.02 smaller than 4.38, so it's pretty darn close.

    C. 12.4 feet

    3.28 x 4 = 13.12

    13.12 is slightly bigger than 12.4, but it's not as close as in B.

    D. 136.2 inches

    39.37 x 4 = 157.48

    157.48 is considerably bigger than 136.2, so that doesn't work, either.

    The two that are closest are B and C, but B is closer by far.

    If you round to the nearest tenth, 4.36 becomes 4.4, and 4.38 becomes 4.4

    This means that B, 4.38 yards, is as equivalent a measurement as you're going to get with these choices.

    Therefore the answer is B: 4.38 yards.

    The answer is choice B. 4.38 yards because the unit conversion between meters to yards is 1 meter = 1.09361 yards. 4 meters X 1.09361 yards/1 meter = 4.37445 yards, closest to answer choice B. 4.38 yards. Meters cancels out and we are left with units of yards.
