About converting Yards to Miles
Yards (yd) and Miles (mi) are both units of length, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Yards figure by 0.0005682. Ten Yards comes to 0.005682 Miles, and a hundred works out at 0.05682 Miles.

What is a Yard?
A yard is three feet, or exactly 0.9144 meters since the 1959 international agreement standardised it across the English-speaking world. Before that agreement the American and British yards differed very slightly, which mattered enough to surveyors and engineers to be worth fixing. Today the yard survives mostly in American football, in fabric and carpet sales, and in landscaping materials sold by the cubic yard, rather than in any measurement people make with a tape.
What is a Mile?
The mile descends from the Roman mille passus — a thousand paces, each pace being two steps. Its modern length of exactly 1,609.344 meters looks arbitrary because it is: the figure was fixed by the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, which defined the yard as exactly 0.9144 meters and let the mile fall out of it at 1,760 yards. It remains the road-distance unit of the United States and the United Kingdom, and the unit runners think in for road races.
To put both in perspective: a yard is roughly one long stride, while a mile takes most people fifteen to twenty minutes to walk.
