The word mile comes from the Latin "mille passus" (a thousand paces) A pace is he distance between the placement of ones left or right foot and the next time it strikes the ground. The Roman mile was about 1,620 yards compared the modern mile's 1,760 yards.
However given the variability of strides and leg lengths 1000 paces per mile is a good value. There are therefore 5,000 paces in 5 miles or 10,000 individual footfalls.

How many footsteps is 6 miles?
Near 10,000 but it depends on how big your stride is.
How many footsteps are in 1.5 miles?
It depends on the person. My footsteps are about 3 feet when walking. So mine would be about 2640. Most people would be closer to 3000 though.
How many foot steps equal 5 miles?
1 mile is 5280 feet. so my guess would be 26400 Obviously this depends on foot size, so we need a standard. The roman soldiers had a standard where 1 step (left foot to left foot) was just over 5'. Every thousand (or "mille" as it is in Latin), they would mark the point with a post. To this day they are called "miles". So 1 mile = 1000 x 2 footsteps = 2,000 footsteps
How many footsteps in 2 meters?
Depends how far you step to be honest. I'd say about 5/6 steps.
5 miles is equal to how many miles?
Miles and miles are the same measurement. Therefore, 5 miles is equal to 5 miles.
