Solution

To determine which of the given options is a little shorter than one meter, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit.

First, let's convert 300 feet to meters. Since 1 meter is approximately 3.28 feet, we can divide 300 by 3.28 to get the equivalent in meters.

300 feet ÷ 3.28 feet/meter = 91.46 meters

Next, let's convert 1 yard to meters. Since 1 yard is equal to 0.9144 meters, we can conclude that 1 yard is shorter than 1 meter.

Now, let's convert 30 feet to meters. Using the same conversion factor of 3.28 feet/meter, we can calculate the equivalent in meters.

30 feet ÷ 3.28 feet/meter = 9.15 meters

Lastly, let's convert 10 yards to meters. Multiplying 10 yards by the conversion factor of 0.9144 meters/yard, we can find the equivalent in meters.

10 yards × 0.9144 meters/yard = 9.144 meters

Comparing the converted measurements, we can see that 1 yard is shorter than 1 meter, while 30 feet and 10 yards are both a little shorter than 1 meter. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 yard.
