English term or phrase: 7/10 of a mile
"the course is approximately 7/10 of a mile"

Trata-se de uma corrida/caminhada.
Sou péssimo em matemática e isto aparece no meio do meu documento que não tem nada que ver com números. Gostaria de oferecer talvez o equivalente em km.

Grato!

1100 metros


Explanation:
In athletics events (or races, as here), multiples of 100 metres are more usual (up to 1,500) and multiples of 1000 thereafter. Except the marathon which is exactly 42,195 metres.
