( Mile)
A mile is a unit of length, usually used to measure distance, in a number of different systems, including Imperial units, United States customary units and Norwegian/Swedish mil. Its size can vary from system to system, but in each is between one and fifteen kilometers. In contemporary English contexts, mile most commonly refers to the international mile of 5,280&_160;feet, 1,760&_160;yards, or exactly 1,609.344&_160;meters. However it can also refer to either of the following for specific uses There have been several abbreviations for mile (with and without trailing period) mi, ml, m, M. In the United States, the National Institute of Standards and Technology now uses and recommends mi[4] but in everyday usage (at least in the United States and in the United Kingdom) usages such as miles per hour and miles per gallon are almost always abbreviated as mph or mpg (rather than mi/h or mi/gal). The formula "multiply by 8 and divide by 5" to convert international miles to kilometers gives a conversion of 1.6, accurate to 0.6%, which is a useful approximation. The unit of distance mille passus (literally "a thousand paces" in Latin, with one pace being equal to two steps) was first used by the Romans and denoted a distance of 1,000&_160;paces or 5,000&_160;Roman&_160;feet, and corresponded to about 1,480&_160;meters, or 1,618&_160;modern&_160;yards. This unit is now known as the Roman mile.[5]
