according to information from NASA, the space shuttle has a capacity of about 500,000 gallons of fuel. Write three numbers that could represent the space shuttle's actual fuel capacity? I don't understand the question.
Could designate in gallons (above), quarts, and scientific notation.
To represent the space shuttle's actual fuel capacity, you can create three different numbers. Here's how you can do it:
1. Choose a number that is close to the lower end of the estimated capacity. For example, you could select 450,000 gallons. This number is a bit below the estimated capacity of 500,000 gallons.
2. Pick another number that is close to the upper end of the estimated capacity. For instance, you could choose 550,000 gallons. This number is a little higher than the estimated capacity of 500,000 gallons.
3. Lastly, you can select a number that is within the estimated range. One option could be 475,000 gallons, which is somewhere in between the lower and upper ends of the estimated capacity.
By providing these three different numbers (450,000 gallons, 550,000 gallons, and 475,000 gallons), you are demonstrating a range of potential fuel capacities for the space shuttle, allowing for slight variations or uncertainties in the exact value.
