Answer:
281s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Speed of the scooter = 1.45min per mile
Fuel economy of engine = 85miles per gallon
Quantity of fuel = 145mL
Unknown:
Time of travel with the volume of fuel given = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to find the distance the fuel will last.
Rate of fuel consumption by the engine = 85miles per gallon
Convert 145mL to gallons;
3785.41mL = 1 gallon
145mL will therefore give = 0.038gallons
So;
Distance covered = 85miles per gallon x 0.038gallons = 3.23miles
From;
Rate of travel =
Time = rate of travel x distance = 1.45 minutes per mile x 3.23miles
Time = 4.7min
1 min = 60s
4.7min = 4.7 x 60 = 281s
