Question

A prototype rocket burns 159 gallons of liquid hydrogen fuel each second during a regular launch. Make a table that shows how many gallons of fuel are burned after 2,3,5, and 10 seconds.

Answer 1

159 gallons are being burned per second, so if two seconds have passed,
159 x 2 = 318 gallons

Thus, to get the total volume in gallons burned after some time, we just multiply the rate (159 gal/s) by the time passed (in seconds).

So if three seconds have passed,
159 x 3 = 477 gallons

...and so on. Follow the pattern and make the table.
