🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Block Island Sound chart to measure the distance from buoy "5" at the entrance to Great Salt Pond to light "1" at the mouth of the approaches to Lake Montauk • Convert nautical miles and knots into time using the basic speed–distance–time formula: ( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \) • Add the running time you computed to the given time of departure (1113) carefully, paying close attention to minutes rounding

💭 Think About

• First, on the chart, trace the route actually used in the exam solution (not a straight-line shortcut that ignores channels), then measure that distance in nautical miles • Once you have the distance, calculate how many hours and minutes it takes to travel that distance at 9.6 knots, and decide whether you need to round up or down to the nearest minute • Finally, add that travel time to 1113, being careful about carrying minutes into hours, and compare that result to the answer choices

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are measuring from the correct starting point (buoy "5" at the entrance to Great Salt Pond) and ending at light "1" at the approaches to Lake Montauk • Check that your calculator (or long division) uses the correct speed 9.6 knots and that you convert the decimal hours properly into hours and minutes • Before choosing an answer, confirm that your final ETA is reasonable for that approximate distance across Block Island Sound at about 10 knots (not unrealistically short or long)
