Why Convert Length From Yards to Decimeters?

The yard is 9.144 times bigger than a decimeter which would be too big to measure the size of small objects. A yard is a unit to measure long areas, while a decimeter measures the size of very small things. If the value of any object is equal to or less than 0.109361 yards, then it is better to express it in decimeters. Suppose the value of length is 0.2200; if we convert it into yards, the result will be 2 decimeters. It is the right way to express this measurement. Apart from this, there are other reasons for yards to decimeter conversions. Nevertheless, there is no compulsion as per law for this conversion. People prefer conversion as per their needs.
