A military jet cruising at an altitude of 12.0kmand speed of 1900./kmh burns fuel at the rate of 74.4/Lmin. How would you calculate the amount of fuel the jet consumes on a 1050.km mission? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression.

Answer: amount = 2466.95L

Explanation:

given that the speed is = 1900./kmh i.e. 1hr/900km

distance = 1050km

the fuel burns at a rate of 74.4 L/min

therefore the amount of fuel that the jet consumes on a 1050.km becomes;

total fuel used = time × fuel burning rate

where time = distance / speed

∴ total fuel used (consumed) = time × fuel burning rate

total fuel consumed = (1050km × 1hr/1900km) × (60min/ 1hr × 74.4L/1min)

total fuel consumed = 2466.95L
