You have steamed 726 miles at 17.5 knots, and consumed 138 tons of fuel. If you have 252 tons of usable fuel remaining, how far can you steam at 13.5 knots?

Correct Answer: Option A — 2228 miles

Calculate the fuel rate per mile from the initial steaming data, then project remaining range at the new speed using the cubic fuel-speed law from Bowditch, resulting in 2228 miles.
