Examples
1
Consider that a luxury yacht cruises 120 nautical miles on a journey. Convert this distance from nautical miles to Fathoms.
Answer:
Given:
The length in nautical miles (international) is:
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 120
Formula:
The formula to convert length from nautical miles (international) to fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = Length(Nautical miles (International)) / 0.0009874729957837535
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 120 in the above formula.
Length(Fathoms) = 120 / 0.0009874729957837535
Length(Fathoms) = 121522.3105
Final Answer:
Therefore, 120 nmi is equal to 121522.3105 fath.
The length is 121522.3105 fath, in fathoms.
2
Consider that an aircraft travels 500 nautical miles to reach its destination. Convert this distance from nautical miles to Fathoms.
Answer:
Given:
The length in nautical miles (international) is:
Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 500
Formula:
The formula to convert length from nautical miles (international) to fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = Length(Nautical miles (International)) / 0.0009874729957837535
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical miles (International)) = 500 in the above formula.
Length(Fathoms) = 500 / 0.0009874729957837535
Length(Fathoms) = 506342.9604
Final Answer:
Therefore, 500 nmi is equal to 506342.9604 fath.
The length is 506342.9604 fath, in fathoms.
