Start with a known ratio of distance to time and multiply by the desired time
85.4yards5minutes70.0seconds1=?
The units of measurement don't match so multiply by a ratio of the appropriate units where that ratio is equivalent to 1
=85.4yards5minutes70.0seconds11minute60seconds
Cancel out the equivalent units and factors:
=85.4yards570.01160
Finish doing the arithmetic:
=85.4yards570.060
=19.9 yards
Since the answer is being asked for in meters, we know that
1yard=0.9144 meters
=(19.9yards)0.9144meters1yard
=18.1966 meters
Hope this simplifies the process for you.
Double Checking the Answer:
85.4yards5minutes=18.1966meters70seconds
78.0898meters300seconds=18.1966meters70seconds
0.26meters/second=0.26meter/second
