The level of the ocean rises and falls each day. These changes are called tides. A tide table shows when the tide will rise to a high tide and when it will fall to a low tide at a particular location. Study the patterns in the tide table shown below.

Answer 1

Answer: low tide at about 3:05 a.m.

Reason: Tides occur about 50 minutes later each day. The low tide on day 6 is 2:32 a.m., so on day 7 it should be a little after 3:00 a.m.; 3:05 a.m. is the best match.
