b. 6.43 kg/km
c. 8 kg/km
d. 9.64 kg/km

Answer 1

OPTIO B,The fuel consumption per kilometer for the Boeing 747 between Montreal and Edmonton is 6.43 kg/km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate fuel consumption per kilometer, we need to divide the total fuel consumption by the total distance traveled. In this case, the Boeing 747 requires 22,500 kg of fuel for a distance of 3,500 km. So the fuel consumption per kilometer is:

Fuel consumption per kilometer = Total fuel consumption / Total distance

Plugging in the given values:

Fuel consumption per kilometer = 22,500 kg / 3,500 km = 6.43 kg/km

Therefore, the correct answer is b. 6.43 kg/km.
