How many steps does it take for a mile?

Answer 1

It depends on how long your steps are and on the person. I think it's about 2000 walking and 1400 jogging. There's an old Roman Empire army trick to calculating how long the soldiers would travel. What the Romans would do was walk normally (or in there case insynch as they are in an army...one of the greatest) and everytime there left foot (or right) touched the ground they would count one. Once 1000 was reached, they would count it as a mile. I've done this many times and my friends and i checked it and it was almost exact.

Learned this in Social Studies class.

Who would of thought school actually teaches something?

Answer 3

It actually depends on the person walking. One step is almost equal to 1 meter. 1 mile = 1.61 km. So we can say that a person has to take about 1,610 steps to complete a mile.
