is question refers to An Unsinkable Titanic-Ch 7-Step 3
Answer
The lifeboats on the Titanic could hold a total of 1,178 people. However, the ship was carrying over 2,200 passengers and crew, so not everyone could be saved even if all the lifeboats were filled to capacity. The Titanic did not carry enough lifeboats to save everyone because the regulations at the time did not require it, and the ship's designers believed that the Titanic was unsinkable.
