🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel consumption rate vs. speed (is it per mile, per hour, and does it change with speed?) • Using the first leg to find a base fuel consumption rate • How a change in speed affects time for the remaining distance and therefore total fuel

💭 Think About

• From the first part of the voyage, what fuel consumption rate can you calculate (per hour or per day)? • Once you know that rate at 13 knots, how should it change when the speed increases to 14 knots, given typical exam assumptions about fuel vs. speed? • After adjusting the fuel rate for 14 knots, how long will the 1325‑mile leg take, and how much fuel would that use?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear whether you are using fuel per mile or fuel per hour/day—only one of these will let you correctly adjust for a new speed. • Confirm you correctly compute the time to steam 916 miles at 13 knots and 1325 miles at 14 knots using ( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} ). • Before choosing an answer, check that your final fuel figure is reasonable compared to 166 tons for 916 miles (the new leg is longer and at a higher speed).
