I don't have a perception for how long a mile is nor any knowledge that would decompose it into a smaller subunit. It was not taught or discussed at any point in public school. There was exactly one question I recall on a class exam about converting to Fahrenheit from Celsius. It's some formula with a constant & an offset to account for the differing scale and the freezing point. I've long since forgotten it.

Not sure why people are giving you such a hard time about this. My experience matches yours; born and raised in the US but I’m hopeless at talking about the weather in Fahrenheit, estimating hiked distances in miles, or converting tablespoons and quarts. My public school education prioritized metric and it’s trivial to choose units in maps, weather apps, etc.
