Cal's go cart has a gas tank with the dimensions shown below. He uses a gas can that holds 1 gallon of gas, to fill the go cart tank. 1 gallon = 231 inches^3. How many full gas cans will it take to fill the go cart's gas tank?

Answer: 2 full gas cans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we have the following dimensions:

length, l = 15.4 inches (in)

width, w = 10 in

height, h = 3 in.

The volume of the gas tank (which is rectangular) is given as:

$Volume = length * width * height = lwh\\\\Volume = 15.4 * 10 * 3 = 462 cubic inches = 462in^{3}$

NB: The unit of volume is cubic units. In this example, it is cubic inches.

The gas can being used to fill the tank holds 1 gallon of gas = $231in^{3}$

The total volume to be filled is $462in^{3}$ of gas.

So, it will take  $\frac{462in^{3} }{231in^{3} } = 2$  full gas cans to fill the go cart's gas tank.

Therefore, the answer is 2.
