Using a scope of 5, determine how many feet of cable you should put out to anchor in 5 fathoms of water.

Correct Answer: Option B — 150 feet

With a depth of 5 fathoms and a scope of 5, the total length required is 25 fathoms. Since one fathom equals 6 feet, the calculation is 25 fathoms multiplied by 6 feet per fathom, resulting in 150 feet of anchor cable to be paid out.
