Does m stand for meters or miles?

Answer 1

'm' can mean two things in the metric system.

The first meaning is 'metre' which is a measurement of length.

If the 'm' stands alone it is metre.

The second meaning is 'milli' which means a thousandth. In this case 'm' can not stand alone, we need to know what we have a thousandth of; if it is weight, length or some other thing.

Example: mg means 'milligram', a thousandth of a gram.

Example: mm means 'millimetre', a thousanth of a meter.

Answer 2

1 mile = 1609.344 meters
