Question

Your ship has steamed 1651 miles at 20 knots using 580 tons of fuel oil. The distance remaining to your next port is 1790 miles. If you increase speed to 25 knots, how much fuel will be used to reach that port

Answer 1

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.
