I'm not a complete failure at mental arithmetic. To change from miles to meters just divide by point six. OK, how many meters are in 1179 miles? I admit I wouldn't even attempt the calculation. I would just whip out my trusty metric conversion wallet calculator. Oh, I would still work out that 1200 was 2000 so that if I made a major error typing it in I would know that I wasn't even approximately right. However, I would still use the calculator for accurate results.
