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 Fathoms.
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 fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) / 0.0009868420597837896
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 100 in the above formula.
Length(Fathoms) = 100 / 0.0009868420597837896
Length(Fathoms) = 101333.338
Final Answer:
Therefore, 100 NM (UK) is equal to 101333.338 fath.
The length is 101333.338 fath, in fathoms.
2
Consider that a sailing regatta covers a course of 75 nautical miles (UK). Convert this distance from nautical miles (UK) to Fathoms.
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 fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) / 0.0009868420597837896
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 75 in the above formula.
Length(Fathoms) = 75 / 0.0009868420597837896
Length(Fathoms) = 76000.0035
Final Answer:
Therefore, 75 NM (UK) is equal to 76000.0035 fath.
The length is 76000.0035 fath, in fathoms.
