🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel consumption rate = tons of fuel used per mile at the first speed • Relationship between fuel remaining, consumption rate, and distance possible • Effect of change in speed (from 13 to 14 knots) on fuel consumption rate (assume proportional to power/speed given in the problem data)

💭 Think About

• First, find how many tons of fuel are used per mile at 13 knots using the data given. What is the formula? • Once you know tons per mile at 13 knots, how can you adjust that rate to estimate tons per mile at 14 knots, using only the information in the question? • After you have the estimated tons per mile at 14 knots, how do you convert the 203 tons of remaining fuel into distance, and then compare that distance with the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure to compute fuel per mile (not miles per ton) from the initial data before doing anything else • When changing from 13 to 14 knots, check whether you are assuming fuel use per hour or fuel use per mile stays the same – only one of those is consistent with the information provided • After finding the possible distance, make sure your final unit is in miles, and that it is reasonable compared to the first leg (more fuel remaining than used, but at a slightly higher speed)
