  1. You need some specific information. How many people are on board the Endeavor? How many people does each lifeboat hold? What do you know about how long it takes to launch a lifeboat?
  2. Divide the number of people on board by the number of people each lifeboat holds to figure out how many lifeboats have to be launched.
  3. It takes 15 minutes to launch one lifeboat and get a group of people off the ship. How long will it take to launch all of the lifeboats and get all of the people off the ship?
