🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed = Distance / Time and how to rearrange it to find Time = Distance / Speed • Using the vessel’s course line on the chart or plotting sheet to measure distance to the Memphis Highway Bridge • Converting time in minutes to clock time and adding it correctly to the departure time and date

💭 Think About

• From your last known position given in the problem, how many nautical miles is it along your track to the Memphis Highway Bridge? • What is the speed over ground (SOG) specified or calculated earlier in the exam problem, and is it constant for this leg? • Once you compute the travel time in hours and minutes, what arrival clock time do you get when you add that to the departure time, and does it stay on the same calendar date?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are measuring distance along the track line, not straight‑line off‑track distance • Double‑check unit consistency: speed in knots (nm/hr), distance in nautical miles, time in hours/minutes • After you add travel time to departure time, confirm your AM/PM and date are still correct before picking the choice
