Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a gasoline engine typically consumes 0.06 gallons per horsepower hour, what will be the cost of operating a 300 horsepower engine for 10 hours at a fuel price of 3 dollars per gallon?

💡 Hint: Think about how many gallons a 300 horsepower engine consumes over 10 hours and multiply by the cost.

Question 2

You manage a site with trucks and loaders. If your trucks consume 15% less fuel than loaders under identical conditions, calculate the adjusted consumption for a situation where a loader uses 0.04 gallons.

💡 Hint: You need to determine the percentage adjustment to find the truck's consumption.
