Answer 1

We can solve it using the rule of three as:

150 nautical miles ---------------- 6 hours

X ---------------- 1 hour

Where X is the nautical miles that the cargo ship travel in one hour. Solving for X, we get:

`X=\frac{150\text{ nautical miles }\cdot1\text{ hours}}{6\text{ hour}}=25\text{ nautical miles}`

Answer: 25 nautical miles
