Let d represent the distance and t the time taken by the ship. Then, from the statement of the problem, 605(t-104) = 33t, or (605 - 33)t = 605(104), or t = 110 hours. In this time, the ship travels (33 miles/hour) X 110 hours = 3630 miles. If the ship makes no detours, this is therefore the distance between the two cities. Only two significant digits are justified, because only two are given for the speed of the ship. If significant digits are to be considered, the answer should be written as 3.6 X 103 miles.
