Answer:
The minimum balance is 68 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of liters of petrol required be x
Given that One litre of petrol has a mass of 737g, x liters will have a mass
= 0.737x kg
Recall that 1 kg = 1000g
Since the empty fuel tank has a mass of 1050kg
The total mass = 1050 + 0.737x IN kg
For the total mass to exceed 1100kg, then
1050 + 0.737x > 1100
0.737x > 1100 - 1050
0.737x > 50
Divide both sides by 0.737
x > 50/0.737
x > 67.84260516
