Q

One shot of anchor chain is equal to how many feet (meters)?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard length of one shot of anchor chain in U.S. practice • Conversion between fathoms and feet • Approximate conversion between feet and meters (1 foot ≈ 0.3048 meters)

💭 Think About

• First recall how many fathoms are in one shot of chain, then multiply by how many feet in a fathom. • After you get the total feet, compare it to the metric value in the choices to see which pair (feet/meters) matches your calculation. • Check if any answer choice matches both the traditional seamanship value (in feet) and the metric equivalent you know from conversions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Know by memory or reference: feet per fathom and fathoms per shot. • Multiply carefully: (fathoms per shot) × (feet per fathom) before looking at the answer choices. • Verify that the feet and meters listed together in the same choice are consistent with the conversion 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 m.
