Question

The launch used for captain lighners scenic tours hold 170 litres of fuel. The boat uses 34L each hour. i need an equation for this please help

Answer 1

The information we have is:

The boat can hold 170 L of fuel

The boat uses 34L each hour.

With this information, we can find the total amount of time that the boat can be used.

If the boat is used x hours, then it needs:

x*34L of fuel.

And the maximum amount of fuel that the boat can use uis170 L

Then we can solve:

x*34L = 170L

Now we can divide both sides by 34L to isolate x.

x = 170L/34L = 5

This means that the boat can be used for 5 hours.
