The thickness of a 30.6 pound plate is _______________.

A 3/8"
B 1/2"
C 3/4"
D 1"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 3/4". The thickness of a 30.6 pound plate is 3/4" based on the standard specifications for weight plates used in the maritime industry and in Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. Typically, a 30.6 pound steel weight plate has a diameter of approximately 17-18 inches and a thickness of 3/4 of an inch. The other options, 3/8", 1/2", and 1", are not the standard thickness for a 30.6 pound weight plate.
