Ocean depth is usually measured in fathoms, but that is not a relatable unit and is often converted. Echosounding determined the depth of an area off the coast of Bermuda to be 780 fathoms. How many meters is this? (1 fathom=1.8 meters)

Respuesta :

Answer:

1404 m

Explanation:

Given that

Depth of ocean = 780 fathoms

Given that

1 fathoms = 1.8 metes

1 fathoms = 1.8 m

Therefore 780 fathoms

1 x 780 fathoms = 1.8 x 780 m

780 fathoms = 1.8 x 780 m

780 fathoms =  1404 m

Therefore the depth of the ocean in meters will be 1404 m.

Note- A fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 feet (1.828 m) in the imperial and U.S. customary systems, especially used to measure water depth in the ocean. In such an imperial fathom there are two yards (6 feet).
