The trip is 1 hr. 50 min. from Elliot Lake to Parry Sound Muni with a stop at Sudbury. The fuel consumption is 14 U.S. gallons per hour with 2.0 U.S. gallons used on each departure. What is the total fuel required for the trip?

To determine the total fuel required for the trip, it is important to break down the journey into its components. The total flight time, including the stop, needs to be calculated effectively.

The trip duration is 1 hour and 50 minutes, which can be converted into hours for simplicity. This is equivalent to 1.83 hours (1 hour + 50 minutes/60 minutes).

Fuel consumption is given as 14 U.S. gallons per hour of flight time. Therefore, to calculate the fuel consumed during the in-flight portion of the trip, you would multiply the flight time by the hourly fuel consumption:

1.83 hours × 14 gallons/hour = 25.62 gallons.

Since the flight requires fuel for the departures, an additional fuel amount for takeoffs must be considered. With 2.0 U.S. gallons used for each departure, and since there are two departures (one from Elliot Lake and another from Sudbury), you will add:

2 departures × 2.0 U.S. gallons/department = 4.0 U.S. gallons.

Now, add the fuel consumed during the flight to the fuel used for the departures: 25.62 gallons (in-flight fuel) + 4.0 gallons
