Units of Measure
The ABCs and running series: Today's topic "Units of Measure."
I grew up Canadian but never really adopted the metric system. In Canada it became widespread by 1980s, but I was just to set in my ways to disregard miles, pounds, or gallons. Fortunately I now reside in the USA where gallons and miles are the norm.
1.6 km= 1 mile
5 km= 3.1 miles
8 km= 4.97 miles
10 km= 6.2 miles
Half-marathon= 21.097 km, 13.1 miles
Marathon = 42.195 km, 26.2 miles
