You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"it consumes fuel at a rate of 38 l/min. if the jet's fuel tanks contain 6840 l when full\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the tank is completely full. This means the plane can fly for ( 6840 L )*(1 min/38 L) = 6840/38 = 180 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "180 minutes = (180 minutes)*(1 hour/60 minutes)
\n" ); document.write( "180 minutes = 3 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It can fly for 3 hours on a full tank with light winds. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "D = 700*3
\n" ); document.write( "D = 2,100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The jet's maximum range is 2,100 km with a full tank and light winds.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
