Question 480Navigation General

The correct answer is C) 17.50 fathoms. To convert meters to fathoms, you divide the depth in meters by 1.8288 (the conversion factor between meters and fathoms). In this case, 32 meters divided by 1.8288 equals 17.50 fathoms. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 11.50 fathoms is too low, as 32 meters is equivalent to a greater depth. B) 12.62 fathoms is also too low. D) 104.99 fathoms is much too high and does not accurately reflect the 32-meter depth.
