🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard draft mark spacing: how many inches from the bottom of one number to the bottom of the next number • What the bottom of the draft numeral represents (the exact whole‑foot draft) • How to subtract inches from a whole‑foot draft to get feet and inches

💭 Think About

• If the water were exactly at the bottom of the 10, what would the draft be in feet and inches? • Being 4 inches below that point means your draft is how many inches less than 10 feet? Convert that to feet and inches. • Look at the interval between the 9 and 10 marks: where would the waterline fall between them if it is 4 inches below the bottom of 10?

✅ Before You Answer

• Remember that the bottom of each numeral equals that draft in feet (not the middle or the top) • Verify the distance between consecutive foot marks is 12 inches, so each inch difference is 1/12 of a foot • After subtracting 4 inches from 10 feet, ensure your answer keeps feet and inches in proper form (no more than 11 inches).
