A kilometer is 3/5th of a mile. A kilometer equals a million,000 meters. Kilo skill thousand. A mile is on the threshold of 1600 yards. So in case you divide one thousand into 1600 you will get 5/8th of a mile. Why not 3/5th? reason is a meter equals to approximately 39 inches, on an identical time as a backyard equals 36 inches. the government had to alter our equipment into the metric equipment interior the mid-Seventies yet there became into a good number of opposition to the exchange. Now we are caught changing the two structures.

All you have to do is just remember that 2.54 Centimeters equals 1 inch, then go from there.
Converting to feet yeilds
1 mile = 5280 feet.
Converting to inches yeilds
5280 feet = 5280 * 12 = 63360 inches in a mile
Conveting to centimeters yeilds
63360 * 2.54 = 160934.4 centimeters in a mile.
Then, moving from centimeter to meters to kilometer just moves the decimal place.
1 meter = 100 Centimeters.
1609.344 meters in a mile
1 Kilometer = 1000 meters.
1.609344 kilometers in a mile.
Oops, you wanted to go the other way. So....
1 Kilometer = 1000 meters.
1 meter = 100 Centimeters.
1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters.
Converting Centimeters to inches yeilds.
100000/2.54 = 39370.07874015748031496062992126 inches in a kilometer.
Converting inches to feet yeilds
39370.07874015748031496062992126 /12 = 3280.8398950131233595800524934383 feet in a kilometer.
A mile is 5280 feet, so
5280/3280.8398950131233595800524934383 = 1.6093440000000000000000000000002 Kilometers in a mile.
