text: # Merhale
  
  Merhale was an Ottoman unit of length.
  
  8 fersahs were equal to 1 merhale. Fersah was based on the distance covered by a horse in normal gait per hour. Exact definition was 5685 meters.
  
  So 1 merhale can be converted to meters.
  
  $1\quad {\mbox{merhale}}=8\cdot 5685=45480\quad {\mbox{meters}}$
