The submarine dove 20 fathoms of water, and one fathom of water is equivalent to 6 feet of water. Thus, the submarine descended 20 * 6 feet
= 120 feet
The submarine then traveled the same distance to return to the surface. Therefore, covered 120 feet again.
The submarine thus traveled 120 + 120 =
240 feet in the round trip
