Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Nautical miles (International).
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 nautical miles (international) is:
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 1012.6838954523769
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 5 / 1012.6838954523769
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 0.0049373748535484
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.0049373748535484 nmi.
The length is 0.0049373748535484 nmi, in nautical miles (international).
2
Consider that a dock extends into the sea for 8 fathoms (US survey). Convert this length from fathoms (US survey) to Nautical miles (International).
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 nautical miles (international) is:
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 1012.6838954523769
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 8 / 1012.6838954523769
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 0.0078997997656774
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.0078997997656774 nmi.
The length is 0.0078997997656774 nmi, in nautical miles (international).
