How to convert miles to millimeters
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 mi = 1609344 mm
1 mm = 0.00000062137 mi
So, you can easily convert your quantity in miles to mm by simply multiply it by 1609344
Hence, general formula to convert miles to mm:
p(mm) = 1609344 × p(mi), where p is the numerical value
For example:
Convert 15 miles to mm
15 mi = 15 × 1609344 mm = 24140160 mm
About Mile (mi)
Name of unit: Mile
Abbreviation: mi
Unit system: Imperial System
Definition Mile is the unit of length used in both British Imperial (BI) and US Customary (USC) systems of measurements for measuring the larger distances . One mile represent 5280 feet or 1760 yards. Yard, inch, foot and mile are US Customary units of length. In metric system , one mile is equal to 1609.34 m or 16.09 cm .
Uses of mile: Mile is the larger unit of length in imperial system used to measure the large distances between two far places, cities etc. Height of mountains and lenght of roads , rivers , coastines etc are measured in miles. It is also used to measure the distance travelled by car, bus , train or airplane etc.
Countries that use mile: Mile is used to measure the length or height of objects in the US Customary system of measurements. So the countries that use the inch as the unit of length are Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Liberia and Myanmar.
About Millimetre (mm)
Name of unit: Millimetre
Abbreviation: mm
Unit system: metric system
Definition: Millimetre is the metric unit of length used to measure the length of very small objects or distances. In SI units, the fundamental unit of length is the metre and 'milli' is the latin word refers to the prefix of the metre which is equal to one thousandth i.e 0.001 ( 1 mm = 1/1000m ). Thus we can say that millimetre is one thousandth of a metre.
Uses of mm: Millimetre is the small unit of length. So , it is used to measure the length of very tiny objects like nib of a pen, a pencil or a needle , thickness of sheet or cloth etc . Miillimetre is also used various fields like physics, chemistry , medicines, mathematics etc for small measurements.
Countries that use CM: Millimetere is the metric unit of length, so it is used by all other countries around the world except the US, Liberia and Myanmar.
