Hey,
Wonder if somebody could help me.
I have worked out this question as follows:
## An aircraft consumes 9 000 lbs an hour. It heads towards it's destination 220 miles away at a speed of 440 MPH. How much fuel will be consumed? ##
Firstly I worked out the time of the journey.
So,
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 220/440
Time = 2 Hours
So fuel consumed would equal 9000 x 2 = 18000.
So final answer = 18000 lbs consumed.
However where I got this example from is giving the answer as 4,500lbs.
I believe this is wrong? Could anybody advise me if I worked this out correct?
Many Thanks in advance!
