Calculating Ship's Distance Run

For 18 hours, a vessel steamed at an average speed of 10 kts. What was the total distance? 

Given:

            Time = 18 hours

          Speed = 10 knots

What is asked?

            Total distance run for 18 hrs

Solution:

1. We have to multiply ship's speed and the steaming time to get the distance. This is the formula:

        Distance = speed × time

                         = 10 nm/hr × 18 hrs

2. Eliminate the hours

         Distance = 10 nm/ hr   × 18 hrs  

                          = 10 nm × 18

                          = 180 nm is the distance run
