Best Answer

A metric mile is a distance of a mile rounded to an approximate round number in meters. 1600 m is a good number for a metric mile. An actual mile is 1609.344 m. A metric mile set at 1600 m contains 5249.34 ft.

There is no such thing as a 'metric mile', but if you're talking about the U.S. mile the ratio is 1760 yards to 1 mile
