Answer: 2 cans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the volume of the go cart tank, which has the form of a rectangular prism. You can use the following formula:
[tex]V=l*w*h[/tex]
Where:
l: is the lenght.
w: is the width.
h: is the height.
In this case:
[tex]l=15.4in\\w=10in\\h=3in[/tex]
Substitute values into the formula. Then:
[tex]V=(15.4in)(10in)(3in)=462in^3[/tex]
If a gas can holds 1 gallon of gas and [tex]1\ gallon=231\ in^3[/tex], then the number of full gas cans that will take to fill the go cart's tank (whose volume is 462 in³) is:
[tex]gas\ cans=\frac{(462in^3)(1can)}{(231in^3)}=2\ cans[/tex]
