Whether you’re planning a trip, comparing athletic feats, or working on a science project, knowing how to convert between different units of measurement is super useful.

This article will break down exactly how to convert 0.8 miles to km. More importantly, we’ll go over the why behind the conversion, so you understand the principles instead of just memorizing a number.
