Convert mile to mile

Learn how to convert 1 mile to mile step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i l e) = x (m i l e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (m i l e) = 1828.8 (m e t e r) = 1828.8 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i l e) = 1609.344 (m e t e r) = 1609.344 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i l e) = x (m i l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1828.8 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1609.344 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1828.8 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1609.344 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1828.8 \cdot (m) = x \times 1609.344 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1828.8 = x \times 1609.344

Switch sides

x \times 1609.344 = 1828.8

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1609.344})

x \times 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344} = 1828.8 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344}

Cancel

x \times 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344} = 1828.8 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344}

Simplify

x = \frac{1828.8}{1609.344}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.1363636364 \approx 1.1364

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i l e) \approx 1.1364 (m i l e)
