Examples
1
Consider that a ship anchors in water that is 30 fathoms deep. Convert this depth from fathoms to Nautical miles (International).
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms to nautical miles (international) is:
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = Length(Fathoms) / 1012.6859207995899
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 30 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 30 / 1012.6859207995899
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 0.0296241898735126
Final Answer:
Therefore, 30 fath is equal to 0.0296241898735126 nmi.
The length is 0.0296241898735126 nmi, in nautical miles (international).
2
Consider that a diver descends to a depth of 10 fathoms. Convert this depth from fathoms to Nautical miles (International).
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms to nautical miles (international) is:
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = Length(Fathoms) / 1012.6859207995899
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 10 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 10 / 1012.6859207995899
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 0.0098747299578375
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 fath is equal to 0.0098747299578375 nmi.
The length is 0.0098747299578375 nmi, in nautical miles (international).
