        It’s rough estimation, a deviation of anything less than 50% is accurate enough for that

        Edit: Ooh I thought you were trying to “um actually, it’s 1.66”, but I just realised they put 0.6 instead of 1.6

      or for in your head maths: half + 10%

      (though it’s 1km=0.6mi, 1mi=1.6km)
