And I am a definite tree lover.
A soldier who marched at a rate of 120 x 30-inch paces to the minute had to travel 12 Furlongs to arrive at a point where he would be told to march another league to get to his new Barracks.
How long did it take him to arrive at his destination.?.
Another lot of interesting facts whether fun or ghoulish, however, I will remember about being admitted to hospital during the week rather than the weekend!
More interesting stuff! Keep 'em coming. :)
The Answer is.
!One League = 3 Statute miles,!2 Furlongs ! and a half miles total four and a half miles. It would take One minute to March 100 yards. a mile being 1760 yards meaning the same number of minutes divided by 60 would give you I hr and 19.2 minutes to cover the distance. However, if he was smart, he would have caught a Cab.
I did it just now without looking at your answer:
I'm not familiar with Imperial measurements; but I googled a furlong to get 7820inches. So 12 Furlongs is 93, 840.
Divide 30 and you would have ~3,128 paces. At 120 per minute, that's about 26 minutes 4 seconds.
*** Looking at your answer, I guess I have the wrong conversion ratio!
