'One-tenth of a mile' means that you divide the mile into 10 equal parts. It follows that if you are taking nine-tenths of a mile, you are taking 9 of those parts.
When considering more than ten-tenths (such as eleven-tenths or fourteen-tenths), the distance formed by the parts exceeds a mile because the units add up to more than the whole.
If fewer parts are taken, such as two-tenths or nine-tenths, the resulting distance is less than a mile.
How to Convert Lengths (courtesy of MathsisFun.com):
To convert length from one unit to another, multiply by the correct conversion factor.
Follow these steps:
Find the correct conversion factor (see Conversion Charts)
Then multiply by that factor
Sometimes you can obtain the conversion in the "wrong direction," so it is advisable to consider whether your answer will be greater or lesser.
If you arrive at an incorrect answer, try dividing by the conversion factor.
