How the inches to kilometres converter works
Every length is converted through the metre, the SI base unit of length. The inch has been defined as exactly 25.4 mm since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, so a foot is exactly 0.3048 m, a yard 0.9144 m and a statute mile 1,609.344 m. The nautical mile is 1,852 m by international definition.
The UK is metric for most trade and science but keeps miles, pints, stone and mpg (with the imperial gallon) in daily life.
