Damn I finally get it with a good teacher

[dickyprice]

Do you have any Distance word problems. That would be great.

[deymhahaha]

Hi Sir Can I ask you about what is the importance of accurately calculating and measuring the navigational information?

[jaylordcruspero]

Good day sir. Can I ask about problem no.5? How did you convert 2:96 to 3:36?

[Mesh]

Sir, can you please also do an example computing ETA with time difference. Thank you

[HardyBarona]

Can u teach me how to charting the distance?

[mrchristian]

Good day sir! I have a problem, after we find the Lat & Long of the positions we also get the distance of it so i just want to ask if our calculations were right:
DEPARTURE = FEBRUARY 28, 2019 0700 HRS (GIVEN)
DISTANCE = 424 NM
SPEED = 12 KTS (GIVEN)
TIME = ?
SO TO FIND TIME:
T= 424/12 = 35.33
GET THE .33 AND MULTIPLY IT BY 60 SO:
.33 X 60 = 19.8 OR 20
(AFTER THIS PART I GET SO CONFUSED BECAUSE OUR PROFESSOR SAID TO US THAT WE SHOULD GET THE 35 THEN SUBTRACT IT BY 24 I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I THINK BECAUSE IN ONE DAY THERE'S 24 HOURS) SO OUR PROFESSOR DID WAS:
35 HOURS 20 MINUTES - 24 = 1 DAY 11 HRS AND 20 MINUTES (1 DAY 11:20) SO:
DEPARTURE: FEBRUARY 28 07:00 HRS + 1 DAY 11:20 HRS = 29 18:20 SO:
29 18:20 - 28 = 1 18:20 OR THE ETA WAS MARCH 1, 1820 HOURS
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS CORRECT OR NOT, PLEASE REPLY ASAP! THANK YOU!!!

Why not say knots instead of nautical miles per hour ?

These simple questions are well below the sandard required for a Master. Even a pre-sea cadet could calculate this with his eyes closed.

Yeah rounding up and down is very important to remember damn smh
