A jumbo jet uses 12 litres of fuel per kilometre travelled.
How far has the jet travelled if it has used 2772 litres of fuel?
A jumbo jet uses 12 litres of fuel per kilometre traveled.
How far has the jet traveled if it has used 2772 litres of fuel?
To find the distance traveled by the jumbo jet, we need to divide the total amount of fuel used (2772 litres) by the fuel consumption rate (12 litres/kilometre).
Distance = Total fuel used / Fuel consumption rate
Distance = 2772 litres / 12 litres/kilometre
Distance = 231 kilometres
Therefore, the jumbo jet has traveled 231 kilometres.
To find out how far the jet has traveled, we can use the fuel consumption rate of 12 litres per kilometer.
Let's set up a proportion:
12 litres / x kilometers = 2772 litres / 1
Cross multiplying, we get:
12 * 1 = 2772 * x
Simplifying, we get:
12 = 2772 * x
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 2772:
x = 12 / 2772
Calculating this, we get:
x = 0.00433
Therefore, the jet has traveled approximately 0.00433 kilometers if it has used 2772 litres of fuel.
