Interesting story, in junior high our student metrocards were based on whether we lived a mile away from the school. My house was apparently on the block that would make the distance a mile, so they only would give me a half-fare metrocard.

Is 5,280 feet a good unit of measurement? What is it in metric system?


An inch is roughly the width of a person's thumb
A foot is roughly the length of a person's foot
A yard is roughly the stride of a single person (one pace)
A mile is roughly 1000 paces, having originated from the Roman mille passus, or thousand paces."

I get that metric is easier to convert between units because everything is base 10, but imperial is based on easily quantifiable measures by humans without access to an accurate measuring device, so it has its purpose.

I wonder if someone's going to pretend that intuitive, easily quantifiable approximate measurements don't exist for the metric system now

So simple, that rather than post them you just decided to vaguely imply that they exist. So tell me what they are for centimeter, meter, and kilometer.

Do you have access to a somewhat long or wide room?

Go to one wall, and count how many steps (S) it takes you to reach the other side. Try to maintain a steady pace/all steps equal.

Measure that distance in feet (ft).

Now multiply 5280 by (S) and then divide by (ft). That is how many of those steps you need to make a mile.

Go outside and walk those steps.
That's a mile.
