1 mile is 1832 mt...so 1832mt /4= 458 mt...
donc 1/4 de miles is 458 mt.....
is that true ?.......i think. :roll:

Hey Blaise,
There are two different miles, regular miles (aka statute miles) and nautical miles.
A regular mile is about 1.61 km, a nautical mile is (as stef mentions above) about 1.83 km.
If nothing else is specified, you're probably looking at a 1/4 regular mile race, so that would be about 402 meters.

ok, now that we are talking about measurements, how fast is 1 knot in terms of mph?

Hey Snarfblat,
A Knot is the same a a "nautical mile per hour", so it's not the same as a mph, which is a "regular mile per hour". A nautical mile is about 1.15 regular miles, so a Knot is roughly 1.15 mph (more eaxactly it is 1.150779450 mph).
By the way, the easiest way to get this type of information is to go to google and type something like "1 knot in mph".
