AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 875 tons. To determine the correct answer, we need to use the following formula: Cargo Capacity (tons) = Bale Cubic / Stowage Factor Given: - Bale Cubic: 84,000 cubic feet - Stowage Factor: 96 cubic feet/ton Plugging these values into the formula: Cargo Capacity (tons) = 84,000 cubic feet / 96 cubic feet/ton Cargo Capacity (tons) = 875 tons The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the cargo capacity based on the provided bale cubic and stowage factor. This formula is commonly used in the maritime industry to determine the cargo capacity of a compartment.
