Question

Darren’s car has a rectangular gas tank whose dimensions are 4 meters by 3 meter by 3 meters. If Darren was only able to drive for 45 hours with a full tank, what is the rate of gas consumption of his car?

Answers

  1. Step-by-step explanation:
    that is a huge gas tank. that car is practically a tank.
    the volume of the gas tank is
    4×3×3 = 36 m³
    I assume you use liters for liquid mass.
    remember
    1 meter (m) = 100 centimeter (cm)
    10 cm = 1/10 m = 1 decimeter (dm)
    1 liter = 10×10×10 cm³ = 1000cm³ = 1 dm³
    1 m³ = 10×10×10 dm³ = 1000 dm³ = 1000 liters
    so, his gas tank contained 36,000 liters.
    he used the 36,000 liters in 45 hours.
    his corresponding rate of gas consumption was
    36,000 liters / 45 hours = 800 liters / hour
