b) firstly we nee dto understant that 1 ton = 2831.68 litres
therefore if 16 967.04 Litres needs transporting we simply divide the 16 967.04 by 2831.68 and the answer is 5.99 which is rounded of to 6. therefore 6 trucks will be needed
c) we need to first find out how many gallons of fuels will be needed to complete a 285 mile distance. so we divide 285 by 7.8 to get 36.54 gallons and we know the price of i gallon to be $3.95 therefoe the cost will be
3.95 x 36.54 = 144.33
the cost is $144.33 per day
