Glad you've mentioned that, because using the correct units of measurement here is essential.  this kind of conversion of units is ALSO essential.  Make the Internet your friend:  Do a search for 'miles to meters' or 'meters to miles' and see what happens.  if you don't get the desired result, add the word 'conversion.'
