Examples

1

Consider that a farmer's field is 20 chains long.
Convert this distance from chains to Nautical Miles (UK).

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to nautical miles (uk) is:

Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = Length(Chains) / 92.12121640038264

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 20 in the above formula.

Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 20 / 92.12121640038264

Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 0.2171

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 0.2171 NM (UK).

The length is 0.2171 NM (UK), in nautical miles (uk).

2

Consider that a surveyor measures a plot of land that is 15 chains in length.
Convert this distance from chains to Nautical Miles (UK).

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to nautical miles (uk) is:

Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = Length(Chains) / 92.12121640038264

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 15 in the above formula.

Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 15 / 92.12121640038264

Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 0.1628

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 0.1628 NM (UK).

The length is 0.1628 NM (UK), in nautical miles (uk).
