2. 2

   Rewrite yd in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{yd}=0.9144\mathrm{m}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{cm}& =\frac{0.01\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}{0.9144\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}\times 1\mathrm{yd}\\ & =\frac{0.01}{0.9144}\mathrm{yd}\\ & =0.010936132983\mathrm{yd}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{yd}& =\frac{0.9144\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}{0.01\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}\times 1\mathrm{cm}\\ & =\frac{0.9144}{0.01}\mathrm{cm}\\ & =91.44\mathrm{cm}\end{array}$$
