🔍 Key Concepts

• Time-Speed-Distance formula: ( \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \) and how to rearrange it • How to convert knots (nautical miles per hour) into time per mile • How geographic range / visibility distance (in nautical miles) relates to when an aid to navigation becomes visible

💭 Think About

• From your 2114 position, think about how many nautical miles away you will be from New Haven Light when its range just equals the visibility given • Figure out how many minutes it takes to travel 1 nautical mile at 12 knots, then scale that up to the distance you need to cover before the light becomes visible • Compare your calculated time of sighting with each answer choice and see which one best matches your time-distance calculation

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure your distance is in nautical miles, not yards or statute miles • Double-check your unit conversions: knots to minutes per mile, and any time calculations • Confirm that you are using the remaining distance to the light at 2114, not the total distance from departure, when computing when it will be sighted
