Wright numbers wrong application.

Multiply statute miles by .869 to get nautical . Multply nautical miles by 1.15 to get statute.
example : 100 nm X 1.15 = 115 sm
115 sm X .869 = 100 nm.

Further : A nautical mile is equal to 1 minute of latitude which is equal to 6080 feet while a statute mile is 5,282 feet.
