How to convert feet to nautical miles?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 90 x 1 = 90
- 920 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 920
Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.
For example, if we want to convert 185.2 feet into nautical miles we multiply 185.2 ft by the conversion factor of 0.3048 nmi1852 ft
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, feet are canceled out and we get the result in nautical miles. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.
Based on this, we can conclude that 185.2 feet are equal to 0.03048 nautical miles.
Remember:
- When converting from feet to nautical miles, we use 0.3048 nmi1852 ft as a conversion factor.
