What is the Formula to convert Fathoms (US survey) to Miles?

The formula to convert given length from Fathoms (US survey) to Miles is:

Length_(Miles) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 879.9982290778845

Substitute the given value of length in fathoms (us survey), i.e., Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in miles, i.e., Length_(Miles).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

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

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 miles is:

Length_(Miles) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 879.9982290778845

Substitution:

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

Length_(Miles) = 5 / 879.9982290778845

Length_(Miles) = 0.0056818296159974

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.0056818296159974 mi.

The length is 0.0056818296159974 mi, in miles.

2

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

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 miles is:

Length_(Miles) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 879.9982290778845

Substitution:

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

Length_(Miles) = 8 / 879.9982290778845

Length_(Miles) = 0.0090909273855959

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.0090909273855959 mi.

The length is 0.0090909273855959 mi, in miles.

Fathoms (US survey)

A fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts in the United States to measure water depth. One US survey fathom is equivalent to exactly 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

The US survey fathom is defined as 6 feet, consistent with historical maritime measurement practices and used for depth soundings and underwater measurements.

Fathoms (US survey) are utilized in navigation, fishing, and marine activities in the United States to describe water depth. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and ensures consistency in maritime practices.

Miles

A mile (symbol: mi or m) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One mile is equal to 1.60934 kilometers.

The mile originated from the Roman mile, which was 1,000 paces. The current definition of a mile is based on the international agreement and equals exactly 1,609.344 meters.

Miles are mainly used to measure distances in the United States and the United Kingdom, especially for road systems. While most of the world uses kilometers, the mile remains prevalent in these countries.

  "y_long_desc": "A mile (symbol: mi or m) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One mile is equal to 1.60934 kilometers.</p><p>The mile originated from the Roman mile, which was 1,000 paces. The current definition of a mile is based on the international agreement and equals exactly 1,609.344 meters.</p><p>Miles are mainly used to measure distances in the United States and the United Kingdom, especially for road systems. While most of the world uses kilometers, the mile remains prevalent in these countries.",

One US survey fathom is equivalent to exactly 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters. </p><p>The US survey fathom is defined as 6 feet, consistent with historical maritime measurement practices and used for depth soundings and underwater measurements.</p><p>Fathoms (US survey) are utilized in navigation, fishing, and marine activities in the United States to describe water depth. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and ensures consistency in maritime practices."
