Question 1794 Deck Safety
70% to passYou are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level is at the top of number 8. What is the draft?
A
7'-09"
B
8'-03"
C
8'-00"
D
8'-06"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 8'-06". The water level is shown at the top of the number 8 on the draft marks, indicating a draft of 8 feet. The fractions are marked in 3-inch increments, so the additional 6 inches makes the total draft 8 feet and 6 inches, or 8'-06". The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 7'-09" is too low based on the water level at the top of the 8 mark. B) 8'-03" is too low, as the water level is clearly at the top of the 8, not the 3. C) 8'-00" is too low, as the water level is above the 8 foot mark.
