One mile is approx. 1.6kms, 1 nautical mile (still in worldwide use)
is approx. 1.8kms (1' of arc along the equator, IIRC).

Apart from NM mentioned above, in aviation heights are measured in
feet or hundreds thereof (FL), and barometric pressure in in/hg
(29.92" = 1013mb). The screen's diagonal I'm sitting in front of is
measured in inches, and so are floppy disks' diameters. Beer crates
e.g. contain 1/2, 1 or 2 dozen bottles. Decimal quantities pack poorly.
