Examples
1
Consider that a British naval vessel travels 100 nautical miles (UK) to reach its destination. Convert this distance from nautical miles (UK) to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert length from nautical miles (uk) to chains is:
Length(Chains) = Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) / 0.010855262653651264
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 100 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 100 / 0.010855262653651264
Length(Chains) = 9212.1216
Final Answer:
Therefore, 100 NM (UK) is equal to 9212.1216 ch.
The length is 9212.1216 ch, in chains.
2
Consider that a sailing regatta covers a course of 75 nautical miles (UK). Convert this distance from nautical miles (UK) to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 75
Formula:
The formula to convert length from nautical miles (uk) to chains is:
Length(Chains) = Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) / 0.010855262653651264
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 75 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 75 / 0.010855262653651264
Length(Chains) = 6909.0912
Final Answer:
Therefore, 75 NM (UK) is equal to 6909.0912 ch.
The length is 6909.0912 ch, in chains.
