You are loading 475,000 barrels of cargo oil. At 0800 on 8 July, you find that you have loaded 174,000 barrels. At 1000, you find that you have loaded 192,000 barrels. If you continue loading at the same rate, you will finish at approximately _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1727, 9 July.
To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the total time it takes to load the remaining 475,000 - 192,000 = 283,000 barrels of cargo oil, given that the loading rate is constant at 18,000 barrels per hour (the difference between the 192,000 and 174,000 barrels loaded in the 2-hour period).
At a rate of 18,000 barrels per hour, it will take an additional 283,000 / 18,000 = 15.72 hours to complete the loading process. Starting from 1000 on 8 July, this means the loading will be complete around 1727 on 9 July.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time it takes to complete the loading process given the provided information and loading rate.
