The cruise ship covers 19 nautical miles in 346 minutes therefore we can find the speed f the cruise.
Speed = distance/ time
= 19/346
To get the distance covered in 144 minutes we multiply the speed with time
Distance = (19/346) ×144
= 7.908 nautical miles
Therefore, the cruise ship covered a distance of 7.908 nautical miles in 144 minutes.
