Fuel Consumption and Formula Triangle Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to calculate fuel consumption using a formula triangle. It covers the importance of unit consistency in compound measures and provides examples of calculating fuel consumption in miles per gallon and kilometers per liter. The tutorial emphasizes the need to match units when using compound measures to ensure accurate calculations.

What is the basic formula to calculate fuel consumption?

• Distance multiplied by fuel used

• Distance divided by fuel used

• Fuel used divided by distance

• Fuel used multiplied by distance

What is the unit of fuel consumption if distance is in miles and fuel is in gallons?

• Liters per kilometer

• Miles per liter

• Miles per gallon

• Gallons per mile

What does the formula triangle help you calculate?

• Only fuel consumption

• Only distance

• Only amount of fuel

• Fuel consumption, distance, or amount of fuel

How do you calculate distance using the formula triangle?

• Fuel consumption multiplied by amount of fuel

• Fuel consumption divided by amount of fuel

• Amount of fuel divided by fuel consumption

• Distance divided by fuel consumption

Why is it important to match units in the formula triangle calculations?

• To convert units automatically

• To ensure the calculation is correct

• To make the calculation easier

• To avoid using the formula triangle

If fuel consumption is given in miles per liter, what should the unit of fuel be?

• Kilometers

• Gallons

• Liters

• Miles

In Example 1, what is the distance traveled by the car?

• 200 miles

• 100 miles

• 120 miles

• 150 miles

In Example 1, how much fuel is used by the car?

• 2 gallons

• 3 gallons

• 4 gallons

• 5 gallons

What is the fuel consumption in Example 1?

• 45 miles per gallon

• 40 miles per gallon

• 35 miles per gallon

• 30 miles per gallon

In Example 2, what is the fuel consumption of the car?

• 20 kilometers per liter

• 15 kilometers per liter

• 10 kilometers per liter

• 5 kilometers per liter
