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 hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers.
To convert between Mile (mi) and Hectometer (hm), use the following formulas:
1 Mile (mi) = 16.09344 Hectometer (hm)
1 Hectometer (hm) = 0.0621371192237334 Mile (mi)
0.5 mi = 0.5 * 16.09344 hm = 8.04672 hm
3 mi = 3 * 16.09344 hm = 48.28032 hm
10 mi = 10 * 16.09344 hm = 160.9344 hm
26.2 mi = 26.2 * 16.09344 hm = 421.64812800000004 hm
100 mi = 100 * 16.09344 hm = 1609.344 hm
