There are many tools to do convert miles to meters on the web, but most teachers require you to show your work. Here we make it easy to convert miles to meters and we show you the algebraic steps using unit cancellation for each conversion step. Converting is as simple as plugging your value into the blank space and following the calculations. All unit types are canceled out except for the result unit type, which is what we were looking to solve for. Note, we do the crossover from English to metric units using inches to centimeters, which is widely known.
1Determine the value in miles you want to convert to meters and insert into the blank space below
____ mi * 63360 in
mi * 2.54 cm
in * 1 m
cm = ? mAd
2Using a calculator, perform the calculations listed to get the end result which will be in meters. Note, step #1 includes all cancellation steps which should be good as a learning tool and to include if you have to show your work.
3To convert directly, just follow to formula below
____ mi * 1609.344 m
mi = ? m
We could really use your help!
