Q: What is the name for a "nautical mile"? A: Uhh - you might want to think a bit longer.....any clue....alright, its.. a "nautical mile". A nautical mile is roughly equivalent to 1.15 statute miles.

The knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. Therefore moving at 3 knots it would take 350/3 = 116.6666666666667 hours to go 350 nautical miles.
1/20 hour = 3 minutes
Sometimes it is known as one minute of latitude. For instance, one degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles and a "quadrangle" map projecting 7.5 minutes shows a rectangle about 7.5 nautical miles (minutes) high and about 2/3 of that wide.
time = distance ÷ speed 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour time = 12 ÷ 20 = 3/5 hour = 36 minutes
1 nautical miles per hour = 3 093.29516 furlongs per fortnight The How-to Using the following conversions:1 Nautical mile = 6067 ft * 1 furlong = 660 ft * 1 fortnight = 14 days * 1 day = 24 hrs (1nautical mile/hr)x(6067 ft/nautical mile)/(660ft/furlong)/((24 hr/day)x(14 day/fortnight))or 3093 furlongs/fortnight after the units are cancelled out.
"Tar" is a 3-letter word for old salt, in the nautical sense.
This distance is approx. 3 300 nautical miles.
It is said that a geographical league is 18,240 Feet. It is also said that 1 league is equal to 3 miles, which would mean that it is 15,840 Feet. A third possibility would be that there are 6, 000 feet in a nautical mile, making 3 nautical miles 18, 000 feet. This depends on the type of league; dozens were used. See the link below.
It will vary. An older diesel freighter (container ship) will usually do about 1 nautical mile per 3 gallons of diesel. modern ships work out to as low as 1 gallon.
