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 Hand is the standard unit for measuring horse height worldwide. One hand equals exactly 4 inches. For example, an average riding horse stands about 15-16 hands (60-64 inches) tall at the shoulder. This measurement is taken from the ground to the horse's withers (shoulder ridge).
To convert between Mile (mi) and Hand (hh), use the following formulas:
1 Mile (mi) = 15840.000000000002 Hand (hh)
1 Hand (hh) = 0.00006313131313131313 Mile (mi)
0.5 mi = 0.5 * 15840.000000000002 hh = 7920.000000000001 hh
3 mi = 3 * 15840.000000000002 hh = 47520.00000000001 hh
10 mi = 10 * 15840.000000000002 hh = 158400.00000000003 hh
26.2 mi = 26.2 * 15840.000000000002 hh = 415008.00000000006 hh
100 mi = 100 * 15840.000000000002 hh = 1584000.0000000002 hh
