Thank you
You have 26*1760+385 = 46145 yards
since 1 meter = 1.0936 yards, that means you have
46145/1.0936 = 42195 meters

Just sayin'
To convert the given measurement, 26 mi 385 yd, to hundredths of a kilometer, you need to follow a three-step process:
Step 1: Convert miles to kilometers.
1 mile is equivalent to 1.609344 kilometers.
So, you can calculate the distance in kilometers by multiplying the number of miles by 1.609344:
26 mi * 1.609344 km/mi = 41.842944 km
Step 2: Convert yards to kilometers.
1 yard is equal to 0.0009144 kilometers.
To calculate the distance in kilometers for the yards, you need to multiply the number of yards by 0.0009144:
385 yd * 0.0009144 km/yd = 0.352016 km
Step 3: Add the two converted distances together.
41.842944 km + 0.352016 km = 42.19496 km
Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth, the measurement is approximately 42.19 kilometers.
So, the answer is indeed 42.19 km, not 16 km.
