Examples
1
Consider that a ship anchors in water that is 30 fathoms deep. Convert this depth from fathoms to Reed.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms to reed is:
Length(Reed) = Length(Fathoms) / 1.50000000013716
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 30 in the above formula.
Length(Reed) = 30 / 1.50000000013716
Length(Reed) = 20
Final Answer:
Therefore, 30 fath is equal to 20 reed.
The length is 20 reed, in reed.
2
Consider that a diver descends to a depth of 10 fathoms. Convert this depth from fathoms to Reed.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms to reed is:
Length(Reed) = Length(Fathoms) / 1.50000000013716
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 10 in the above formula.
Length(Reed) = 10 / 1.50000000013716
Length(Reed) = 6.6667
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 fath is equal to 6.6667 reed.
The length is 6.6667 reed, in reed.

Fathoms
A fathom is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts to measure water depth. One fathom is equivalent to 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.
The fathom is defined as 6 feet, making it a convenient measurement for nautical and maritime applications, particularly for depth soundings and underwater measurements.
Fathoms are commonly used in navigation, fishing, and marine activities to describe the depth of water. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and has historical significance in maritime practices.
Reed
A reed is a historical unit of length used in various cultures for land measurement and construction. One reed is approximately equivalent to 2.5 to 3 meters or about 8.2 to 9.8 feet.
The exact length of a reed could vary depending on the region and historical period, as it was based on practical measurements of the length of a reed or a similar natural material used for measuring distances.
Reeds were used in historical land surveying, agriculture, and construction. Although not commonly used today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement practices and the use of natural materials in measurement systems.
