What quantity of fuel corresponds to an average fuel consumption of 15 GPH over 3.5 hours flying time?

To determine the quantity of fuel consumed during a flight with an average fuel consumption rate, you multiply the fuel consumption rate by the total flight time. In this case, the average fuel consumption is 15 gallons per hour (GPH), and the flying time is 3.5 hours.

To calculate the total fuel consumption:

1. Fuel Consumption Rate: 15 GPH

2. Flight Time: 3.5 hours

Now, you perform the multiplication:

Total Fuel Consumed = Fuel Consumption Rate × Flight Time

Total Fuel Consumed = 15 GPH × 3.5 hours = 52.5 gallons

However, if we round the result, since the quantity mentioned in the answers are typically whole numbers, we would look for the closest whole number to 52.5, which corresponds to 52 gallons. Therefore, the correct calculation that corresponds here should logically reflect that fuel consumption was 52.5 gallons during the whole flight.

This means that fuel consumption correlates the flight duration and consumption rate accurately, and results in the appropriate fuel needed for the specified conditions of the flight.
