    10 159.8744 m

    Explanation:

    Hi there!

    Since

    1 mile = 1609.34 m

    and:

    1 yard = 0.9144 m

    We have that:

    6 miles + 551 yards = 6 * (1609.34) + 551 * (0.9144) m

    Therefore, the distance is (in meters):

    d = 10 159.8744 m

    Rounded to the first decimal

    d = 10 159.9 m
