Answer: 125,000 BTUs
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:
A fuel tank has a volume of 36 gallons. When filled with biodiesel, it provides 4,500,000 BTUs
So, the proportion is:
36 gallons / 4,500,000 BTUs
For 1 gallon
1 gallon / x BTUs
36/4,500,000 = 1/x
Solving for x:
x = 1 / (36/4,500,000)
x = 125,000 BTUs
