hairymary you have got it the wrong way round.
Buidersmate is right.
sq metres to sq yards mutiply by 1.2
sq yards to sq metres multiply by 0.84
yards to metres multiply by 0.91
metres to yards multiply by 1.09

Thanks mr peter im well confused now i just need dead simple answers like buildersmate gave me but looks like ive even managed to get that wrong now

[buildersmate]

Maybe look at it this way. If a square yard can fit inside a square metre (it can because its a smaller size) there must be more yards than metres in a fixed area. So the yards is the bigger number in this conversion. So 50 m2 is 59 sq yds.
