You travel 611 NM. How much fuel will you need if you burn 60 kgs per hour, and are travelling at 705 kts? SOL:52 kgs


Any other faster way of resolving this that isn't doing 611/705= and multiply solution by 60...???????

Thanksss a lot!


I imagine you wouldn't be expected to do this in a non-calculator test? As far as I'm aware the method you used would be the only way after simplifying. 611/705 can be simplified to 13/15 as both are divisible by 47. Unless I'm mistaken; working that out without a calculator would be very difficult. It's simple enough to get to 52 Kgs from 13/15 x 60.
