You'll need to memorize a few conversion factors, but not all of them. In this case I'll use the one I remember, as well as a relatively simple metric one (meters to kilometers).


Conversion Factors:1 mile ~= 1.609 km

1 km = 1000 meters


Conversion factors can be expressed as a fraction, with one side of the equation in the numerator and the other side as the denominator:

Example: (1 mile / 1.609 km) or (1.609 km / 1 mile), etc.


Multiply what you are trying to convert into your conversion factors, in a way where units cancel out. Remember, units can cancel out over a fraction, just like any other term.


1000 meters x (1 km / 1000 meters) x (1 mile / 1.609 km) = [(1000 / 1000) / 1.609] miles = 1/1.609 miles.


1/1.609 miles ~= .6215 miles.


Unfortunately, metric to US customary units are a bit messy, so you will usually want to have a calculator to do the math (they can't be done without one, it's just tedious)


The answer is .6215 miles, unless you care about significant figures. If you do, than 1000 meters has 1 significant digit, therefore you would round youranswerto 0.6 miles.
