💭 Think About

• First, convert the given water depth from fathoms to feet. What number do you get? • Scope of 5 means the cable length is 5 times what quantity? • After you multiply, which answer choice matches the total cable length in feet?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you use 1 fathom = 6 feet when converting depth. • Confirm you multiplied the depth in feet by the scope (5:1). • Check that the final number you calculate matches exactly one of the choices given.
