Question nine says in normal weather conditions, 2 a particular type of jet burns an average of 2.4 gallons of fuel per 3 nautical mile flown the distance from New York to Los Angeles is about 2,100 4 and nautical miles. Approximately how many gallons of fuel will the jet burn 5 for a trip from New York to Los Angeles in normal weather conditions? 6 So this tells us that for every mile, 7 the jet Thrones, 2.4 gallons of fuel, 8 and that we're traveling 2,100 miles. 9 So all we have to do is multiply 2.4 by 2,100. 10 And that gives us 5,040, 11 which is approximately 5,000 and therefore C is the correct answer.
