Based on the information in the previous question, what is your ETA at the distress scene?
• Speed = Distance / Time and how to rearrange the formula to solve for time • Converting minutes and seconds into tenths of an hour (or vice versa) if needed • How to correctly add travel time to a departure time to get an ETA in 24‑hour time
• From the previous question, what was your speed and how far away were you from the distress scene? Use those values to compute the travel time. • When you get a travel time (for example, in minutes), how do you correctly add that to the starting time given in the earlier question? Watch for when you cross the hour mark. • Look carefully at each choice: which times are realistically consistent with the amount of time you would need to cover that distance at your given speed?
• Double‑check your use of the formula Time = Distance ÷ Speed, keeping all units consistent (e.g., nautical miles and knots). • Make sure you correctly handle any time that goes past 60 minutes, converting it into hours and minutes. • Verify that your final ETA is expressed in four-digit 24‑hour format (HHMM) and matches one of the options.
