A couple of newbie questions

That's not precise--that's rounded to two decimals.
A nautical mile is, by definition, precisely 1,852 meters, as mentioned
above.
That converts to 6,076.11549 feet (which still is not precise!).

Actually, the statement, "A nautical mile is also, precisely, 6,076.12
feet."
IS precise. It may not be exact, but it is precise.
