II Corps got it right 60 to 1 is the ticket

here's a litte extra

60NM from the VOR 1NM = 1 degree
6NM from the VOR 1NM = 10 degrees

from there you can always extrapolate:
30NM from the VOR 1NM = 2 degree
20NM from the VOR 1NM = 3 degree
15NM from the VOR 1NM = 4 degree
12NM from the VOR 1NM = 5 degree
10NM from the VOR 1NM = 6 degree

if you wanna be exact:
60 divided by DME = degrees per NM

As always, the AFMAN 11-217 Volume 2 is a great source (Chapter 6):
