The steps to convert metres to miles are the following.

1. This step is to deduce the value of metres in an equivalent of the FPS system. Therefore, 1 metre is equal to 3.28 feet. This means that 1 ft equals 0.305 metre.
2. This step would involve converting miles to feet. Therefore, as there are 5280 feet in a mile,
3. This step involves the conversion of feet to metres again. Therefore in this step, if the number of feet is multiplied by 0.305, we will get the desired answer in metres.

If m = 0.305 * x [where x = number of feet]

x = 5280 ft

m = 0.305*5280 ft

m = 1610 m

Therefore, it can be seen that one mile equals 1610 ft.

Mile and metre are both units of length and distance. Metre is used in the standard metric system whereas mile is used in the imperial system of measurement. A mile is a unit of length or distance which is equal to 5280 ft. When compared to the metric system, a mile is equal to 1609 metres. The equivalent of the metric system to a mile would be a kilometre. One kilometre is equal to 1000 metres. Therefore, it is seen that a mile is larger than its equivalent in the metric system, that is, a kilometre.
