The 680 tons of fuel needed to cover the next 1790 miles distance.
According to the statement
We have given that the ship covered a 1651 miles distance at 20 knots by a 580 tons of fuel oil.
And distance remaining to next port is 1790 miles and speed increases to 25 knots.
And we have to find that how much fuel used to reach that port.
So, Distance covered = 1651 mile
fuel used = 580 tons
distance covered with 1 tons fuel = 1651/580
distance covered with 1 tons fuel = 2.85 mile at a speed of 20 knots.
so, The fuel consumption for 1790 mile is = 1790/2.85
The fuel consumption for 1790 mile is = 628 tons of fuel needed.
So, The 680 tons of fuel needed to cover the next 1790 miles distance.
