Question 979515: How long would it take a 450 ton galleon ship to travel 480 miles across water if they can travel around eight knots on average?
I'm not familiar with boat speed and travel, so I'm unsure if it's any different from calculating something as usual as walking speed and travel. Thanks!

-------------
d = r*t
t = d/r
----
t = 480/8 = 60 hours if it's 480 nautical miles.
-------
The weight is not relevant.
"across water" is not relevant to the calculations.
