Question 1251Deck General70% to pass
You are loading 465,000 barrels of cargo oil. At 0900 you find that you have loaded 207,000 barrels. At 1030 you find that you have loaded 223,000 barrels. If you continue loading at the same rate, you will finish at approximately _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 0910 the next day.
The reasoning is as follows:
1) At 0900, 207,000 barrels were loaded.
2) At 1030, 223,000 barrels were loaded.
3) Therefore, the rate of loading is 223,000 - 207,000 = 16,000 barrels per 1.5 hours.
4) At this rate, it will take an additional 242,000 / 16,000 = 15.125 hours to load the remaining 242,000 barrels.
5) Adding 15.125 hours to the 1030 time, the loading will be completed around 0910 the next day.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 2100 that night is too early, given the loading rate.
B) 0730 the next day is too early, given the loading rate.
D) 1215 the next day is too late, given the loading rate.
