Neco 2023 Islamic Religious Studies Question 32
Practice objective / multiple choice question 32 from the 2023 Neco Islamic Religious Studies examination.
Historical records indicate that Islam reached the city of Gao in Mali approximately 120 years after it first entered the region of Ghana. Assume that the spread proceeded from one settlement to the next, each settlement being on average \(800\) km apart. A caravan could travel \(30\) km per day for \(20\) days each month (the remaining days are spent in trade and rest). Each newly converted settlement required a minimum of \(8\) years to become a stable base before sending missionaries further. Determine the minimum number of settlements (including the initial one in Ghana) that must have been established for Islam to reach Gao in the recorded time.
