The metric 'kilometer' is typically used to express the length of the same category of measurements as the English 'mile'. But it's a stretch to say that they are "about the same". One kilometer is almost 38% shorter than a mile.
There isn't a separate US metric system, the metric system is international and the same everywhere. So one kilometre in the U.S.A. is one kilometre.
The fundamental unit that is the same in both the metric system and English system is the unit of mass, which is the pound (lb) in the English system and the kilogram (kg) in the metric system.
Yes, a kilometer is a unit of measurement that is the same in both British and American systems. It is defined as 1,000 meters.
Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius in the metric system and degrees Fahrenheit in the English system, is the only measure where the units are the same in both systems.
No. the british mile is a kilometer. It is art of the metric system. a mile is running 14 football field straight across. A kilometer is running9 football fields long. Another answer. The British mile is not a kilometer. A kilometer being a metric measurement is only 5/8th of a mile. There is no difference between an British and an American mile, both are 1760 yards. So, miles are the same, the confusion comes with with gallons. A british gallon is 4.5 litres and an American gallon is 3.8 litres

the same kilometer as anywhere else in the world...
Yes, a kilometer is a unit of measurement that is the same in both British and American systems. It is defined as 1,000 meters.
yes
1,000 meters is the same as 1 kilometer
The English system (avoirdupois) allows those who use it a standardized and accepted method of describing quantities...the same as any other standardized system of measurement.
You don't, because they don't measure the same kind of thing.
Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius in the metric system and degrees Fahrenheit in the English system, is the only measure where the units are the same in both systems.
1000 meters
A kilometer is the same as a 1000 meters. To convert kmilometers to meters you simply mulitply by 1000.
No. Each single mile is longer than 1 kilometer.1 kilometer is the same as roughly 0.62 of one mile
