A ship needs to sail to an island that is 1,000 km south of its starting point. If the captain sails south at a steady velocity of 30 km/h for 30 hours, will the ship make it? a) Yes b) No c) Insufficient information d) Maybe

No, it will not reach its point. Here is why:

Velocity x time

30 x 30 = 900 km

900 km is not equal to 1,000 km so the ship would have to sail for another 10 hours.

Hope this helps!
