Transport numbers and ionic mobility

So at first i thought, We've given velocity and the electric field, so we can determine u
but i asked my lecturer and he said you don't need to use Eu=V at all. So now im completely stumped as to how i will answer it.
I can think of just looking up the ionic mobility of K and Cl in the book, and the determining t +/-
but i dont think thats what he wants us to do, is there a way i can calculate it?
We did determine the conductivity of 0.01M KCl in the experiment, but i don't see how i could use it to determine t
Could anyone give me a push in the right direction
thanks

Can you calculate the limiting molar conductivity of KCl from your findings? Then you could determine the limit molar conductivity of K and Cl

but how would you determine them
you would have the KCl = K + Cl  (the molar conductivities)
i have a physical chem book here with me, but i cant find anything to answer the question
