Answer 1

The cruise ship is traveling at >23< (answer) because 1.151 x 20 = 23.02 rounded to nearest tenth is 23

I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

145854720 yards per second

Explanation:

We are given that a cruise ship is travelling at a speed of 20 knots.

1 knot=1.151 miles per hour approximately

We have to find the approximate speed of ship in yards per second

20 knots=
`20* 1.151=23.02` miles per hour

1 mile=1760 yards

1 hour=3600 seconds

`20 knots={23.02* 3600* 1760`

`20 knots=145854720`yards per sec[/tex]

Hence, speed of ship travelling =145854720 yards per second
