🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel rate per mile vs. per hour – decide which one you really need for this problem • Relationship of speed, time, and distance: ( \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} ) • How to scale fuel consumption proportionally once you know the fuel burned per mile or per hour

💭 Think About

• From the first voyage, what is the fuel consumption per mile? How many tons of fuel are burned for 1 mile at 14 knots? • With 201 tons of fuel remaining, how many miles could you go if you kept the same consumption per mile? Does the speed change that? Think carefully before deciding. • After you know how many miles you can travel, does the 10-knot speed affect the distance or just the time? How would you compute the time if needed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure to divide fuel by distance, not fuel by time, to get the correct consumption rate for this type of question. • Check that your distance answer is reasonable: with more fuel than before, should you be able to travel more or less than 746 miles at the same consumption rate? • Double-check your calculator steps: one small error when dividing 746 by 152 (or the reverse) will throw off every choice.
