the mile (approx 1600m)
No. 1500 meters is about .93 miles. 1600 meters would be closer to a mile.
According to the Wikipedia article, a metric mile can be 1500 meters, or 1600 meters. While 1 statute mile is 1609.344 meters. I guess this is the imperial mile that you are referring to.So the metric mile is less.
A mile. A mile has 5280 feet while 1600 meters has 5249.3438 feet. A difference of 30.6562 feet.
A mile is slightly longer than 1500m.
A mile is 7.2% longer than 1500m
In the Olympics, the middle distance race is 1500 meters, which is 0.932 miles. The "metric mile" is 1600 meters, only slightly less than a mile, which would be 1609.344 meters.
There is no such thing as a "metric" mile. There IS one kilometer, which is one thousand meters. One meter is 39.4 inches, making one kilometer 3,283 feet four inches. One mile is 5280 feet, making one kilometer about 6/10 of a mile. EDIT: Whoever made that comment is being far to technical in their answer. To answer the question a different way, a metric mile is the name Americans give to the European standard of middle distance running in the Olympics: the 1500 meter race. So a metric mile is actually 1.5Km which is just 109 meters short of an actual mile. The 1500, or metric mile, is run at the Olympics, the 1600 is run in most American high schools, and the 1609 is the official USA Track and Field distance. All can be referred to as "the mile," but only the 1500 carries the name "metric mile."
1500 metres
0.93 mile 1 mile = 1609.344 meters 1 meter = 0.00062 mile
A mile. because 1000 meters is a kilometer and a mile is longer than a kilometer!!!
Miles is the imperial unit of measuring distances. Kilometers or meters is the metric unit. 1 mile is 1.6093 km. So to convert km to miles, we divide by 1.6093. The corresponding distance in miles is 000.0006213
1 mile = 1,609.3 meters (rounded)
