🔍 Key Concepts

• fuel consumption rate relationships (per mile or per hour) • how speed (knots) relates to time and distance: ( \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} ) • whether the problem assumes fuel use changes with speed or stays proportional in a simpler way

💭 Think About

• From the first leg, what is the fuel used per mile or per hour? Show that calculation clearly. • For the second leg, how many hours will it take at 16 knots to go 1423 miles, and how does that relate to the rate you found on the first leg? • Before picking an answer, compare your computed fuel use with the original 205 tons: does it make sense that you’d burn more or less fuel on the remaining leg?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear whether you’re using tons per mile or tons per hour, and stick with one consistently. • Double‑check unit conversions: miles, knots (nautical miles per hour), time in hours, and tons. • After computing, see if your answer is reasonable compared to 205 tons already burned and 1260 vs. 1423 miles.
