A construction project requires estimating fuel costs for a fleet of loaders. If each loader consumes 0.12 gallons per horsepower-hour and operates at 150 horsepower for 5 hours, and the local fuel cost is 70 rupees per liter, calculate the total fuel cost for 3 loaders.
💡 Hint: Ensure to convert gallons to liters before calculating total cost.
During a project, a loader has to work on alternating road conditions. If the consumption increases by 25% on poor roads, what is the new fuel rate per horsepower-hour if the standard is 0.12 gallons?
💡 Hint: Think about how to calculate percentage increase.
