Hi, iam Susan Garcia, Enjoy your time-off from me!
Hey there! Have you heard of a furlong? It’s an old-fashioned unit of measurement, equal to one-eighth of a mile. Pretty cool, right? Well, if you’re looking for more info on this interesting concept, you’ve come to the right place! Here we’ll explore what a furlong is and how it’s used today. So let’s get started - buckle up and let’s go for a ride!
Why Is It Called A Furlong? [Solved]
Wow! That’s so cool - the mile was based on a Roman measurement of 1,000 paces and ‘furlong’ comes from ‘a furrow long’, or the distance an ox could plough without a break. In the Imperial system, a mile was divided into furlongs, chains, yards, feet and inches. Pretty neat!
A furlong is a unit of measurement used in the English system of measurement. It’s equal to one-eighth of a mile, or 660 feet. So if you’re ever asked how far something is in furlongs, you know it’s about 660 feet! Pretty cool, huh?
