A prototype rocket burns 159 gallons of liquid hydrogen fuel each second during a regular launch. Make a table that shows how many gallons of fuel are burned after 2,3,5, and 10 seconds.
159 gallons are being burned per second, so if two seconds have passed,
159 x 2 = 318 gallons
Thus, to get the total volume in gallons burned after some time, we just multiply the rate (159 gal/s) by the time passed (in seconds).
So if three seconds have passed,
159 x 3 = 477 gallons
...and so on. Follow the pattern and make the table.
Please do answer this question. Mostly because it is a test question.
To create the table, we will multiply the rate of fuel consumption (159 gallons/second) by the number of seconds.
Let's start by calculating the number of gallons burned after 2 seconds:
2 seconds x 159 gallons/second = 318 gallons
Next, let's calculate the number of gallons burned after 3 seconds:
3 seconds x 159 gallons/second = 477 gallons
Now, let's calculate the number of gallons burned after 5 seconds:
5 seconds x 159 gallons/second = 795 gallons
Lastly, let's calculate the number of gallons burned after 10 seconds:
10 seconds x 159 gallons/second = 1590 gallons
Now, let's put these values into a table:
| Seconds | Gallons Burned |
|---------|----------------|
| 2 | 318 |
| 3 | 477 |
| 5 | 795 |
| 10 | 1590 |
So, the table would look like this:
| Seconds | Gallons Burned |
|---------|----------------|
| 2 | 318 |
| 3 | 477 |
| 5 | 795 |
| 10 | 1590 |
