Question:
How do I transfer flights of stairs climb to miles. I started climbing the stairs at work and would like to convert it to miles.
1 flight of stairs has 24 steps.
Answer:
The standard rise on most stairs is 17″.
24 steps x 17″ = 408″ per flight of stairs
1 mile = 63,360 inches
63,360/408 = 155 flights = 3,720 steps to get to a mile.
