🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the basic speed formula: Speed = Distance / Time to find how many hours you steamed on the first leg • From time steamed and tons used, find fuel consumption per hour • Use the remaining fuel and the new speed (17 knots) to find how many hours you can steam, then convert that to distance

💭 Think About

• First, how long (in hours) did it take to steam 836 miles at 14.5 knots? • Once you know the hours and that 191 tons were burned in that time, what is your fuel burn rate in tons per hour? • With 310 tons left and the same hourly burn rate, how many hours can you steam, and how far will you go at 17 knots in that time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully compute time = distance ÷ speed for the first leg using consistent units (miles and knots) • Be sure to calculate tons per hour, not tons per mile • After finding total hours available with 310 tons, multiply by 17 knots (miles per hour) to get total distance, then compare with the choices
