🔍 Key Concepts

• Time-Speed-Distance relationship to find total steaming time • Converting elapsed time in hours and minutes into days and clock time • Determining and applying the correct zone time/longitude time correction between departure and arrival positions

💭 Think About

• First, use the distance and speed given to find how many hours the voyage will take. Is your speed in knots and your distance in nautical miles? • Once you get total hours, convert that into full days plus leftover hours and minutes. What date and time do you get if you add that to the departure zone time? • After you have the GMT (or a consistent reference time), think about how the change in longitude from 40°E to 74°W affects the local zone time at arrival.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct formula: Time = Distance ÷ Speed, with units in nautical miles and knots. • Check the number of whole time zones crossed going from roughly 40°E to 74°W, using 15° of longitude per hour as a guide. • After applying date changes from travel time and time-zone differences, make sure your final answer matches one of the choices in both date and clock time.
