Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Reed.
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 reed is:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Reed) = 8 / 1.4999970001736398
Length(Reed) = 5.3333
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 5.3333 reed.
The length is 5.3333 reed, in reed.
