Answer 1

A.

The cruise ship will travel 8 nautical miles in 152 minutes.

Explanation:

Distance covered by the cruise ship in 342 minutes = 18 nautical miles

Distance covered in 1 minute =
`(18)/(342)` nautical miles

=
`(1)/(19)` nautical miles

Distance covered in 152 minutes =
`(1)/(19)*152` nautical miles

= 8 nautical miles

So, distance covered by cruise ship in 152 minutes is 8 nautical miles.

∴ The correct answer is option A.
