Length conversions come up wherever a measurement crosses a border: a height given in feet and inches on a form that wants centimetres, a running distance recorded in kilometres and compared against miles, a component specified in millimetres and ordered from a supplier working in inches. The conversions themselves are exact — the inch, foot, yard and mile have all been defined in metric terms since 1959 — so any discrepancy comes from rounding, not from the units disagreeing.

To go the other way, use foot = mile ÷ 0.00018939.
About these units
A foot is exactly 12 inches, or 0.3048 metres. It survives in aviation altitudes worldwide, even in otherwise fully metric countries.
The statute mile is 5,280 feet — an awkward number inherited from the Roman mille passus of 1,000 paces, later adjusted to fit the English furlong.
Foot is also written feet. Mile is also written miles.
