The actual tank car can carry up to 76,000 L of oil.How many liters of oil should the prop maker purchase for a miniature tank car built with a scale factor of 1 to 24?Enter your answer in the box. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Given:

The actual tank car can carry up to 76,000 L of oil.

How many liters of oil should the prop maker purchase for a miniature tank car built with a scale factor of 1 to 24?

So, we will divide 76,000 by 24

So, the number of liters =

$\frac{76000}{24}=3166.6667$

Rounding to the nearest tenth.

so, the answer will be The number of liters = 3166.7
