Best Answer

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.
