🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard length of one shot of anchor chain in feet • How to find the total length when you have more than one shot • Typical U.S. practice for shot length markings on anchor chain

💭 Think About

• First, recall or look up how many feet are in one shot of chain. What value is commonly used on commercial vessels and in exam questions? • Once you know the length of one shot, how do you calculate the total for 2 shots? Write the simple multiplication. • Compare your calculated total to the answer choices. Which option exactly matches your total length in feet?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard length of a shot used in U.S. maritime exams (do not guess from personal vessel experience). • Double-check your multiplication for 2 shots to avoid simple arithmetic errors. • Confirm that your final number in feet matches only one of the listed choices before selecting it.
