The Nautical Mile is used for global navigation, equaling one minute of latitude (about 1.15 statute miles). Commercial airliners cruise at altitudes of 35,000-40,000 feet (about 6 nautical miles). Modern nautical charts still use this measurement, and international maritime law specifies territorial waters in nautical miles. The Decimeter (dm) is useful for medium-sized objects like the length of a notebook (2-3 dm), the height of a water bottle (2.5 dm), or the width of a laptop (3-4 dm). Often used in education and everyday measurements.
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Decimeter (dm), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 18520 Decimeter (dm)
1 Decimeter (dm) = 0.00005399568034557236 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 18520 dm = 18520 dm
5 nmi = 5 * 18520 dm = 92600 dm
10 nmi = 10 * 18520 dm = 185200 dm
20 nmi = 20 * 18520 dm = 370400 dm
50 nmi = 50 * 18520 dm = 926000 dm
100 nmi = 100 * 18520 dm = 1852000 dm
