Examples

1

Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Hands.

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 hands is:

Length_(Hands) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.05555544444918223

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 5 in the above formula.

Length_(Hands) = 5 / 0.05555544444918223

Length_(Hands) = 90.0002

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 90.0002 hand.

The length is 90.0002 hand, in hands.

2

Consider that a dock extends into the sea for 8 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this length from fathoms (US survey) to Hands.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms (us survey) is:

Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 8

Formula:

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

Length_(Hands) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.05555544444918223

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 8 in the above formula.

Length_(Hands) = 8 / 0.05555544444918223

Length_(Hands) = 144.0003

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 144.0003 hand.

The length is 144.0003 hand, in hands.
