Question 427 Deck Safety
70% to passYou have abandoned ship and are in charge of a life raft. How much water per day should you permit each occupant to drink after the first 24 hours?
A
1 quart
B
1 pint
C
1 can
D
1 gallon
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1 pint. After the first 24 hours in a life raft, the recommended water ration is 1 pint (or 0.5 liters) per person per day. This recommendation is based on maritime survival guidelines and regulations to ensure the limited water supply lasts as long as possible until rescue. Consuming more than 1 pint per day can quickly deplete the limited freshwater and increase the risk of dehydration. The other options are incorrect as they either provide too much (1 gallon) or too little (1 quart, 1 can) water per person per day for the survival situation.
