-What is longer a "mile" or "kilometer", and by how much?
-Are there any other countries that DON'T use the metric system and use the standard costumary system(like us)?

-What is longer a "mile" or "kilometer", and by how much? -Are there any other countries that DON'T use the metric system and use the standard costumary system(like us)?

Liberia and Burma are the only official countries that don't use the metric system.
