Use the given approximation to find the distance in fathoms

Reference no: EM13559392

A fathom is a unit of length, usually reserved for measuring thedepth of water. A fathom is approximately 6 ft in length. Take thedistance from Earth to the Moon to be 300,000 miles, and use the given approximation to find the distance in fathoms.
