How Many Fathoms to the Moon?

[r-soy]

A fathom is a method for measuring lengths, usually reserved for measuring the depth of water. A fathom is approximately 6 ft in length . Take the distance to the moon to be 250 000 miles, and use the approximation above to find the distance in fathoms .




I try to solve :



I fa = 6 ft

I mi = 5280 ft



then : 250 000 X 5280

= 132000000

So how many fathoms does that correspond to?
