your squad just completed a 12 mile road march inf our hours flat. Althogether there were 15 check points, to include the road march completion point. what was the average time in minutes between checkpoints?
32
26.6

How many barrels does it take to hold 10,000 cubic feet of jp-4 helicopter fuel ?)round off to the nearest barrel.
7,480

1,780
I will be happy to critique your work or thinking on this. But do your work? Not a chance. If you are stuck, state what you are stuck on.
To find the average time in minutes between checkpoints, we first need to calculate the total time taken for the road march and then divide it by the number of checkpoints.
Given that the squad completed a 12-mile road march in 4 hours flat, we can convert the time to minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 4 hours would be 4 * 60 = 240 minutes.
Next, we need to subtract one checkpoint from the total number of checkpoints since the completion point is also counted as a checkpoint. Therefore, the number of checkpoints is 15 - 1 = 14.
To find the average time in minutes between the checkpoints, we divide the total time by the number of checkpoints: 240 minutes / 14 checkpoints = 17.14 minutes.
Since we are asked for the nearest whole number, the average time between the checkpoints is approximately 17 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the given options (32, 26.6, 16, or 8).
Moving on to the second question about the number of barrels to hold 10,000 cubic feet of JP-4 helicopter fuel:
The conversion between volume and barrels depends on the size of a barrel. If we assume one barrel holds 42 gallons, we can proceed with the calculation.
First, we need to convert cubic feet to gallons. There are 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot: 10,000 cubic feet * 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 74,800 gallons.
Next, we divide the total gallons by the number of gallons one barrel can hold: 74,800 gallons / 42 gallons/barrel = 1,780 barrels.
Since we are asked to round to the nearest barrel, the correct answer is 1,780 barrels.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask.
