🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between nautical miles and statute miles (land miles) • Typical conversion used in navigation problems (how many statute miles in 1 nautical mile) • How to estimate fractional differences between two measurements

💭 Think About

• First recall approximately how many statute miles are in 1 nautical mile. Is it a little more than 1 statute mile or a little less? • Convert that approximate value into a fractional difference: about how much bigger (or smaller) is it compared to 1 statute mile? • Compare that fractional difference to 1/4 and 1/7 to see which one is closest in size and direction (greater vs. less).

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know whether a nautical mile is longer or shorter than a statute mile before choosing between 'greater' or 'less'. • Estimate the difference numerically (for example, 1 nautical mile ≈ X statute miles, so the difference from 1 is about X − 1). • Check whether your estimated difference is closer to 0.25 (1/4) or about 0.14 (1/7).
