🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel consumption is usually expressed in tons per hour or tons per mile • First leg gives you a fuel-consumption rate at 16 knots that you can convert to tons per hour • For the second leg, you must adjust fuel usage for the new speed of 19 knots before finding distance

💭 Think About

• From the first trip, what is your fuel consumption per hour and per mile? Show both. • How does fuel consumption per hour change when speed increases from 16 knots to 19 knots, assuming consumption is proportional to the cube of speed or proportional to speed? Which assumption is appropriate for an exam-style question like this? • Once you know how many tons per hour you will burn at 19 knots, how many steaming hours do 308 tons give you, and how do you turn hours into miles?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are consistent with units: knots (miles per hour), miles, tons, and hours must all line up. • Double‑check whether the problem expects fuel burn to scale directly with speed or with distance only based on the data given. • After you compute the possible distance, compare it with each choice to see which is closest but still reasonable given that you used more fuel at higher speed.
