Here we will show you how to convert 259 mil to km, or more specifically, how to convert 259 scandinavian mil to kilometers.
Mil is predominantly used in Norway and Sweden, and it is not the same length as a mile used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is important to know the difference between a mil and a mile when you go to Scandinavia, because a mil is a lot longer than a mile. In fact, it is more than six times longer.
The plural form of mile is miles, but the plural form of mil is mil. There are 10 kilometers per mil, therefore you multiply mil by 10 to convert mil to kilometers. Here is the formula, math, and answer.
mil × 10 = km
259 × 10 = 2590
259 mil = 2590 km
In comparison, there are only 1.6 km per UK mile or US mile, so 259 miles would be 259 × 1.6 which is 414.4 km. As you can see, 2590 km is a lot more than 414.4 km, which is why it is important not to confuse mil and miles when in Scandinavia!
