65. If your fathometer is set on fathoms, what should your fathometer read at 1750?
The correct answer is 8.5 fathoms. A fathometer set to fathoms displays depth in fathoms, requiring conversion from feet to fathoms using the factor 1 fathom = 6 feet. Therefore, 1750 feet divided by 6 feet/fathom equals 291.67 fathoms, but the question asks for the fathometer reading at 1750, which is 51 feet, and 51 feet divided by 6 feet/fathom is 8.5 fathoms.
