Have you ever wondered how sailors navigated the oceans before the Global Positioning
System (GPS)? One method sailors used is called dead reckoning. How does deal
reckoning use mathematics to track locations? Could you use this method today?
1. In nautical navigation, it is common practice to use angle measures in degrees,
distances in nautical miles, and speed in knots (nautical miles per hour). The
relationship between miles per hour and knots is linear. (1 knot - 1.15078 mi/h)
Use this relationship to complete the chart to the nearest tenth of a mile.
