You don't, miles are not a unit in the metric system. All distances are measured in metres. Prefixes are used for multiples or fractions of a metre. Distances that used to be measured in miles would, today, be measured in kilometres.

600 square miles is how many miles?
Hi there, square miles and miles are not really the same thing. Miles are a measure of distance while square miles are a measure of area. To answer your question though, for any rectangular piece of land, you can measure the distance/length of two sides in miles (start from any one corner) then multiply these two numbers together to get the total square miles in area. So: 20 miles x 30 miles = 600 square miles Or: 10 miles x 60 miles = 600 square miles etc... Regards, Peter.
