Math Problem Statement

Airplane can carry roughly 165,000 kg of fuel. If the jet fuel has a density of 0.804 kg/L, what is the volume of fuel in gallons?

(Enter only the number with significant digits but without units. To enter a number in scientific notation, use 'E'. For example, 6.022x1023 would be entered as 6.022E23

Solution

The volume of the fuel is approximately 54,214 gallons.
