Question

A scooter maintains a pace of 1.45 minutes per mile, with fuel economy of 85 miles per gallon. How many seconds can it travel on 145 mL of fuel under these conditions?

Answer 1

Answer:

283 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of seconds would it travel is as follows

Pace is

$\frac{1.45\ minute}{mile}= \frac{87\ seconds}{mile} \\\\Fuel\ economy = \frac{85\ mile}{gallon}$

The volume of fuel = 145 ml = 0.0383 gallon

Now from 145 ml of the scooter fuel would be

= $\frac{85\ mile}{gallon} \times 0.0383\ gallon$

= 3.255 mile

Now time for travel is

= $\frac{87\ sec}{mile} \times 3.255\ mile$

= 283 seconds
