You can walk 1 km in 6 minutes if you can walk a mile in 10 minutes.
It is 1 minute = 6 degrees and so 6*6 = 36 degrees
The 3 and 6 minute rules are used to quickly solve for distance in Nautical Navigation. The principles are then applied to other navigation principles including Rapid Radar Plotting and other tools. Basically these rules are used to quickly determining distance traveled in 3 and 6 minutes.The premise with these rules is that a Nautical Mile (NM) = 2000 yards (yds)Additionally, 1 knot (kt) = 1 NM / hr = 2000 yds/hr (this is the equivalent to MPH)3 Minute Rule:Speed (kts) * 100 = Distance (yds) traveled in 3 minutesExample: if traveling 20 knots, the distance you've traveled in 3 minutes is as follows:20kts *100 = 2000ydsfor 15 knots, 15kts * 100 = 1500yds6 Minute Rule:Speed (kts) / 10 = Distance (NM) traveled in 6 minutesExample: if traveling 20 knots, the distance you've traveled in 6 minutes is as follows:20kts / 10 = 2NMfor 15 knots: 15kts / 10 = 1.5NM
If there is some longer distance that is known to you, see how long it takes you to walk that distance. Then divide the distance by the time, and convert to common units, like kilometers / hour. Or better convert to common units before dividing (if it takes you 6 minutes to walk the distance, calculate 0.1 hours; if the distance is 200 meters, calculate 0.2 km.).
Yes, it is. One of the current Australian residential walking records is: a shade over 60 kilometersin 6 hours, which boils down to about 167 meters every minute for 6 solid hours.That doesn't mean that you or I could do it, but to answer your question: Yes, it's possible.
