Question

A cruise ship can cover 21 nautical miles in 378 minutes. How many nautical miles will it travel in 108 minutes?

A. 4
B. 8
C. 10
D. 6

Answer 1

Answer: D/ 6.

Step-by-step explanation: First, you have to do division to find out how many minutes = 1 nautical mile.

378 divided by 21= 18.

Then, you would do 108 divided by 18, to find out the answer; 6.

To double check your work, get the answer you got and multiply it by the minutes per mile which is 18.

18 x 6 = 108.

Therefore, it will be 6 nautical miles in 108 minutes.
