The Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph). The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam).
To convert between Mile (mi) and Decameter (dam), use the following formulas:
1 Mile (mi) = 160.9344 Decameter (dam)
1 Decameter (dam) = 0.006213711922373339 Mile (mi)
0.5 mi = 0.5 * 160.9344 dam = 80.4672 dam
3 mi = 3 * 160.9344 dam = 482.80320000000006 dam
10 mi = 10 * 160.9344 dam = 1609.344 dam
26.2 mi = 26.2 * 160.9344 dam = 4216.48128 dam
100 mi = 100 * 160.9344 dam = 16093.44 dam
