The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level. The Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Mile (mi), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 0.0011363636363636363 Mile (mi)
1 Mile (mi) = 880 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 0.0011363636363636363 mi = 0.0011363636363636363 mi
5 ftm = 5 * 0.0011363636363636363 mi = 0.005681818181818182 mi
10 ftm = 10 * 0.0011363636363636363 mi = 0.011363636363636364 mi
20 ftm = 20 * 0.0011363636363636363 mi = 0.022727272727272728 mi
50 ftm = 50 * 0.0011363636363636363 mi = 0.056818181818181816 mi
100 ftm = 100 * 0.0011363636363636363 mi = 0.11363636363636363 mi
