Since Yahoo Answers is going away soon, you might want to learn to do this yourself. At a minimum, try typing "How many metres are in a mile" into Google.

Answer:

~1609.34 m

(The exact answer is 1609.344 and Captain Matticus explains the full calculation very well).

1 mile = 1,609.344 meters

1 mile = 5280 feet, exactly

1 foot = 12 inches, exactly

1 inch = 2.54 cm, exactly

100 cm = 1 meter, exactly

(5280 feet per mile * 12 inches per foot * 2.54 cm per inch) / (100 cm per meter) =>

(5280 * 12 * 2.54 / 100)  (ft/mi) * (in/ft) * (cm/in) / (cm/m) =>

(528 * 1.2 * 2.54) (ft * in * cm * m) / (mi * ft * in * cm) =>

528 * 3.048 meters per mile =>

528 * 3 + 528 * 0.05 - 528 * 0.002 =>

1584 + 264 * 0.1 - 1056/1000 =>

1584 + 26.4 - 1.056 =>

1610.4 - 1.056 =>

1609.344

1609.344 meters per mile, exactly.
