Examples

1

Consider that a ship anchors in water that is 30 fathoms deep.
Convert this depth from fathoms to Chains (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms to chains (us survey) is:

Length(Chains (US survey)) = Length(Fathoms) / 11.000021991729724

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 30 in the above formula.

Length(Chains (US survey)) = 30 / 11.000021991729724
