The depth of water on a chart is indicated as 23 meters. This is equal to _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 12.6 fathoms.
To convert meters to fathoms, we divide the depth in meters by 1.8288, which is the conversion factor from meters to fathoms.
23 meters / 1.8288 = 12.6 fathoms.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 11.5 fathoms is an incorrect conversion.
C) 69.0 feet is the conversion from 23 meters to feet, not fathoms.
D) 78.6 feet is an incorrect conversion.
