An aircraft is loaded 110 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight. If fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?

Respuesta :

Answer:

242 lts de fuel

Explanation:

We know density of fuel (is variable) but we can say that is close to 1 Kg/lts.

If we have 110 pounds over maximun certificated gross weight, we need to get rid of that 110 pounds  or 110 * 2.2  = 242 Kgs

Now    by rule of three

If     1 lt        weight      1   kg.

        x                          242 kgs

x  = 242 lts de fuel
