How many minutes in a tenth of a mile?

The time required to travel 1/10 of a mile would depend upon the speed.The latitude/longitude "minute" is 1/60 of a degree, and is measured as flat on maps although it is on the curved exterior of the Earth. A minute of latitude is equal to a nautical mile, which is 1.15 miles or 1.85 kilometers. A minute of longitude is equal to that only at the equator, and becomes less as you move toward the poles and the longitude lines converge.So there would be 0.087 latitude minutes in 1/10 of a mile.


How much distance does 1 second of latitude equal?

One second of latitude equals 100.39 feet . . .here is the proof:one degree = 60 Nautical Miles or 69 Statute miles; (conversion factor 69/60 = 1.15)one minute minute = 1 Nautical Mileone second = 1 Nautical Mile / by 60 seconds = 0.01666 of a Nautical Mileuse conversion factor of 1.15 x 0.01666 = 0.019159 x a Statute Mile -->equals (5420 ft X 0.019159) = 100.39 feet per second of latitudeRead more: How_much_distance_on_the_earth's_surface_does_one_second_of_latitude_equals


How many miles from latitude 43.41 degrees n to 46 degrees n?

roughly 180 miles


How many minutes is 16.7 miles?

You need to specify the latitude and longitude of the end points and whether you want minutes of latitude or of longitude.


How do you convert degrees into miles?

1 foot = 0.3048 meter 1 international nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles = 1.852 kilometers = .99933 U.S nautical mile (obsolete) 1° latitude = 69.047 statute miles = 60 nautical miles = 111.12 kilometers For longitude the conversion is the same as latitude except the value is multiplied by the cosine of the latitude. i got this off a website and it worked for me :]
