How do you compare the distance between successive dots?
Either estimate the distance, or measure it. A compass is used by navigators to measure the distances between successive points, and to compare distances against the scale printed on the chart.

How many hours in 3 800 miles?
Miles is a measure of distance and hours is a measure of time. There is no direct relationship between the two and it is not possible to convert from one to the other.

With a tape measure. How much longer does it need to be? 1/2 inch on each end.
How do you measure velocity in supersonic jet?
-- Measure the distance between two points.-- Measure the time it takes the jet to fly from one point to the other one.-- The speed of the jet between the two points is(the distance between them)/(the time it takes to fly from one to the other)
Why are Light Years used to measure distance of stars from the Earth?
Because no other unit of distance is large enough. The closest star system to us is 4.2 light years away, which is about 25,000,000,000,000 miles.
What do you use to measure speed in the metric system?
You use exactly the same instruments to measure speed in the metric system as you use in any other system. For example, a speedometer, or a distance measuring device and a stopwatch. The difference is that these devices are calibrated in metric units, instead of old-fashioned units.
