Convert the following amount into the indicated units: $$6$$ terrestrial miles into yards.
See development and solution
Development:
First we must convert the statute miles into fathoms. We know that a statute mile is $$880$$ fathoms, and so
$$6$$ miles $$=6\cdot 880$$ fathoms $$=5280$$ fathoms.
Now we convert the fathoms into yards: $$1$$ fathom $$= 2$$ yards, so
$$5280$$ fathoms $$= 5280\cdot 2$$ yards $$=10.560$$ yards
Solution:
$$5280$$ fathoms $$=10.560$$ yards
