Identify the conversion factors needed: 1 mile = 1609.34 meters.
Set up the conversion equation: 0.0550 miles * (1609.34 meters / 1 mile).
Cancel out the units of miles, leaving the units of meters.
Multiply 0.0550 by 1609.34 to convert miles to meters.
The result will give you the distance in meters.
