Question 840693: Here's the question I am having difficulty with. Can you please help?
A cruise liner moves 6 inches for every gallon of fuel that it burns. How many gallons of fuel will it burn if it travels 100 miles?

Convert mi to inches
The conversion in terms of units is:
( 100 mi ) x ( 5280 ft/mi ) x ( 12 in/ft ) = inches
inches
----------------------------------
and in terms of units:
( 1/6 gal/in ) x ( 6336000 in ) = gallons

It burns 1,056,000 gallons of fuel in 100 miles
