There are roughly 1600 meters in a miles, so your 1500 meter time multiplied by 1600/1500, or 16/15, would give you a mile time. For example, a 6:00 1500 time would be a 6:24 mile.
One mile equates to about 1,609.3 meters.
1 mile = 1608 meters, so they are pretty much the same
To determine how many laps equal a mile and a half on a 200-meter track, first convert a mile and a half to meters. A mile is approximately 1,609.34 meters, so a mile and a half is about 2,414 meters. Dividing 2,414 meters by the 200-meter track length means you would need to complete approximately 12.07 laps to cover a mile and a half. Therefore, you would need to run 13 laps to exceed a mile and a half.
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."
