How to Convert Millimeters to Miles
Example: How many miles are equivalent to 12.48 millimeters?
As;
1 millimeters = 6.21E-7 miles
12.48 millimeters = Y miles
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 12.48 times 6.21E-7 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 12.48 * 6.21E-7 / 1 = 7.75008E-6 miles
Answer is: 7.75008E-6 miles are equivalent to 12.48 millimeters.
