Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Fathoms.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms (us survey) is:
Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to fathoms is:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Fathoms) = 8 / 0.9999980000243202
Length(Fathoms) = 8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 8 fath.
The length is 8 fath, in fathoms.
