🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel consumption rate in tons per mile (or miles per ton) at the first speed • How to use that same consumption rate to find total distance possible with remaining fuel • Relationship between speed, distance, and time: slower speed changes time, but does it change consumption per mile in this question?

💭 Think About

• From the first part of the trip, what is the fuel used per mile or per ton? Write that as a clear ratio before doing anything else. • Once you know how many miles you can steam per ton, how many miles does 252 tons represent, assuming the same rate of consumption? • Do you actually need to use the second speed (13.5 knots) to compute distance, or is it only relevant if you were asked about time instead?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully divide total miles by total tons (or vice versa) and keep track of your units. • Confirm that you are using remaining usable fuel only (252 tons), not total fuel used plus remaining. • Before picking an answer, double-check if changing speed was stated to change fuel consumption per mile; if not, consider whether the rate per mile should stay the same for this problem.
