How long will it take to get there?

• A. Determine course and speed
• B. Determine distance only
• C. Determine Distance and speed and time
• D. Estimate weather conditions

Answer: (C)

Time to reach a destination comes from distance and speed. Since time equals distance divided by speed, you must know how far you must travel and the speed you will maintain to compute the duration. Once you have those two pieces of information, you can derive the travel time. The course itself doesn’t determine how long the trip takes, and weather estimates only matter insofar as they influence your speed. By having both distance and speed, you can calculate the time needed.
