First of all, mesuring system was created so that all people in the world would use the same measuring units so we can understand one another and this problem you are talking about would not exist. And world did that, whole world is using centimetars and metars but no americans must piss against the wind and use inches. Whole world is using celsius but no americans must piss against the wind and use farenhajt. Whole world is using litars but no americans will use galons. Whole world is using kilometars but no americans will use miles. Whole world is using grams and kilograms but americans will use pounds… So thats why this problem now exists still after so much time since unitar metryc sistem was adopted trou whole world. But luckly its only americans, the rest of the world is fine so it doesnt matter that much but still. And to answer your question i just use iphones quick search to translate it when i rearly need it. About mesmorising idk for miles i know its about 1.6 times more than km so 100mi is 160km so thats how i remember..
