If 1 degree at the equator is approximately 69.1 miles, and on a circle of latitude passing through New York City, 1 degree is approximately 52.3 miles, how many more miles would a person making a trip around the equator have to travel than a person making a trip around the latitude circle passing through New York City? Thanks for help.

(69.1 - 52.3)(360) = 6048 miles more
