A family wishes to buy a 2020 Toyota Camry. The two options the consider are (a) a standard automobile with and SI engine that gets 34 mpg and costs $18,000; and (b) a hybrid automobile that gets 52 mpg and costs $32,000. On average, the family drives 16,000 miles each year ad gasoline costs $1.65 per gallon. Calculate: (Show your clear solution) The amount of gasoline each vehicle would use each year. Gasoline cost savings of hybrid over standard. Time in months it would take to make up the difference in vehicle cost with fuel savings.

A Boeing 767 due to fly from Montreal to Edmontonrequired refueling. Because the fuel gauge on the aircraft was not working, a mechanic used a dipstick todetermine that 7682 L of fuel were left on the plane.The plane required 22,300 kg of fuel to make the trip. Inorder to determine the volume of fuel required, thepilot asked for the conversion factor needed to converta volume of fuel to a mass of fuel. The mechanic gavethe factor as 1.77. Assuming that this factor was in metric units the pilot calculated the volume to beadded as 4916 L. This volume of fuel was added andthe 767 subsequently ran out the fuel, but landed safelyby gliding into Gimli Airport near Winnipeg. The errorarose because the factor 1.77 was in units of pounds perliter. What volume of fuel should have been added?
