Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: 20 blocks equals 1 mile, or rather 1/20 of a mile equals 1 block. However NYC blocks are not true units of measurements. for instance blocks running west to east are 2 to three times longer than the blocks running south to north. For simplicity on average the South to North blocks are considered to be about 1 block long. How long is a mile wide tornado? It is unclear what you mean by how long a mile wide tornado produces damaging winds in a roughly circular diameter of one mile (1.6 km). Such large tornadoes tend to las t longer than smaller ones, often more than half an hour. A mile by boat is the same length as a mile by car, foot or airplane: 5,280 feet. If you're asking how long it takes to go a mile by boat, that depends on the speed it is going. Whoops - I think I misinterpreted your question, so I'm amending my answer. It's easier to determine in Manhattan since all the blocks here are designed on a numbered grid. From Street to street, it's 20 blocks to a mile. So from say, 40th and 3rd avenue to 60th and 3rd, it's one single mile. Avenue blocks don't follow that sort of conformity, are much longer, and so miles divided by avenues tends to be problematic, depending on through which part of town you're walking or running. How long is a mile by boat? A mile by boat is the same length as a mile by car, foot or airplane: 5,280 feet. If you're asking how long it takes to go a mile by boat, that depends on the speed it is goin On the Manhattan grid (i.e., generally above 4th St.), the rule of thumb is that 20 short blocks equal a mile. Short blocks are along avenues, going roughly north-south, from one (numbered) street to the next. A long block (along streets, between avenues, east-west) is about three short blocks. A mile is equivalent to: 8 furlongs. 1,760 yards. 5,280 feet. 63,360 inches. Going north and south, therefore crossing the numbered streets its 20 blocks to a mile. Going east and west is an entirely different matter, as the distance between the Avenues is much greater, and not regular. The widest part of Manhattan is 57th Street which is 3 miles from 12th Avenue to 1st Avenue. A mile is equivalent to: 8 furlongs 1,760 yards 5,280 feet 63,360 inches. One mile is equivalent to 1.60934 kilometres. In Manhattan, since everything is in a grid, twenty blocks is generally equivalent to a mile, going north to south or vice versa, or by the numbers (example being from 19th street to 39th street would be a mile). Query: how long is a mile in
Student:
A mile is equivalent to 63,360 inches.
