🔍 Key Concepts

• Rate of loading = barrels loaded per hour between 1030 and 1200 • Use the rate to find time remaining to load from 219,000 barrels up to 465,000 barrels • Convert elapsed time in hours and minutes and add to the last known clock time (1200, 5 November)

💭 Think About

• First, how many barrels were loaded between 1030 and 1200, and over how many hours? Use that to find barrels per hour. • Once you know barrels per hour, how many hours will it take to load the remaining barrels to reach 465,000? • After you find the hours (and minutes) remaining, what exact date and time do you get when you add this to 1200 on 5 November?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compute rate of loading correctly using the period 1030–1200 (be careful with 1.5 hours). • Calculate remaining volume to be loaded: 465,000 minus the amount on board at 1200. • Convert your final time in decimal hours to hours and minutes, then carefully add to 1200, 5 November before comparing with the choices.
