The English unit divisions of a mile are:
quarter mile - 1320 feet (440 yards)
furlong - 660 feet (220 yards)
chain - 66 feet (22 yards)
rod - 16.5 feet
yard - 3 feet
foot - 1/5280 mile
So there are 3 feet to a yard, 5.5 yards to a rod, 4 rods to a chain, 10 chains in a furlong, 8 furlongs per mile. Because of the 1/8 division, 5 furlongs is almost exactly 1 kilometer (off by 16 feet).

How many points are on the globe that you can go 1 mile south 1 mile east and 1 mile north and still end up in the same point you started at?
There is one - the north pole. Note that you could go 1 mile south, 1 mile west, and one mile back north to end up on the north pole where you began your trip.Similarly, you could do the opposite directions from the south pole. Go 1 mile north, then 1 mile east or west, and go 1 mile back south to end up on the south pole again.(Note that moving E or W from a point near the poles involves a curved path rather than a straight line.)No, there are an infinite number. At any point on the circle that is 1+1/(2 x pi) miles from the south pole, you can go 1 mile south, 1 mile west will do a complete circuit of the South pole and get you back to where you were after the South leg, and then 1 mile North will get you back to where you started.And at any point on the circle that is 1 + 1/(4 x pi) miles from the South Pole, you can go 1 mile South, 1 mile west will do 2 laps around the pole, and 1 mile North will take you back to where you started ... etc.
How long does it take for a mile long train to go through a mile long tunnel if it goes 30 mph?
4 minutes. The last car on the train is the best way to think about it. That car has to travel the length of the train(1 mile) and also the length of the tunnel( also 1 mile). The total distance would be 2 miles, obviously. So if the train were traveling at 60mph it takes 1 minute to go 1 mile, but since it is going 30mph, it would take two minutes to go 1 mile.
How long does it take to go 1 mile at 30 mph?
It would take approximately 2 minutes to go 1 mile at a speed of 30 mph.
How long does it take to go one mile at 74 mph?
To solve this, simply manipulate the formula: speed = distance/time 74mph = 1m/time time = 1m/74mph It takes 0.01351351... hours to go 1 mile It takes 0.810 minutes to go 1 mile.
How fast do you have to go to travel 1 mile in 3 minutes?
The speed is 20 mph. 1 mile/3 minutes = 1/3 mile per minute (x 60 minutes/hour) = 20 miles/hour
