Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 258 People


The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying. The helicopter flies for 3 hours and uses 33 gallons for fuel. Find the number of gallons of fuel that the helicopter uses to fly for 4 hours.

A) 48 gallonsB) 44 gallonsC) 55 gallonsD) 12 gallons

Answered by admin @



Answer: 44 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportion,

33 gallons = 3hours

X = 4hours

Cross multiply

3 × X = 33 × 4

3X = 132

Divide bothside by 3

3x/3 =132/3

X = 44

Therefore the helicopter uses 44gallons for 4 hours.
