A fuel tank has a volume of 36 gallons. When filled with biodiesel, it provides 4,500,000 BTUs. How many BTUs does 1 gallon of biodiesel yield?

125,000 BTUs

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:

A fuel tank has a volume of 36 gallons. When filled with biodiesel, it provides 4,500,000 BTUs

So, the proportion is:

36 gallons / 4,500,000 BTUs

For 1 gallon  

1 gallon / x BTUs

36/4,500,000 = 1/x

Solving for x:

x = 1 / (36/4,500,000)

x = 125,000 BTUs

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.
