What is the fuel consumption rate per hour?

• A. 4 US Gallons per hour
• B. 5 US Gallons per hour
• C. 7 US Gallons per hour
• D. 6 US Gallons per hour

Answer: (D)

Fuel consumption rate per hour tells you how much fuel the engine uses in one hour. To get it, divide the total fuel used by the total time in hours. In this problem, the data given lead to a rate of 6 US gallons per hour. For example, if 30 gallons were used over 5 hours, 30 ÷ 5 = 6 gallons per hour. The other options would require different totals or durations to match those rates—for instance, 4 gallons per hour would come from 20 gallons over 5 hours, 5 gallons per hour from 25 gallons over 5 hours, and 7 gallons per hour from 35 gallons over 5 hours.
