Take Home Maui

I really need help with homework is due 1-27-09 IMN help pplz 4.0 student that is 50% of my grade in science (which im not really good)
plz help the first one to give the correct answer gets 10 points

Drifts 3 inches of what? A year? A month? A century?

Once you have that, you know how many inches are between the current position of Maui and that of Japan, and divide by 3 inches. Multiply that by the time interval that should be specified in the problem, and you'll have your answer.

Realistic if, Maui has eroded long before it reaches Japan. A seamount could stay well.
