Please help ! Ty ...

Answer 1

capacity of a litre?

Answer 2

Yeahh ...

Answer 3

8 times the capacity of a gasoline tank = 8 x 1 = 8 litres =0.08hectolitres

Answer 4

But that isent one of the options ...?

Answer 5

Sing with me c'mon!!!

KILO, HECTO, DECA Liter,
DECI, CENTI, MILI Liter!!!!!


No, I am still sane. -_-


That^ is basically the sequence of units:
1Kilo =10 Hecto
1 Hecto = 10 Deca
1Deca = 10 Litres ...{'deca' means 10 - so 10 litres = deca litre}
1 Litre = 10 Deci
1 Deci = 10 Centi
1 Centi = 10 Mili




Can you use this?

Answer 6

So what do I do to " convert " the liters to the hectoliters ?

Answer 7

that stupid two-liner is to help you remember the sequence of unit conversion. applies to any other base unit like meter/gram/joules as well.

Answer 8

Ok but I still have no idea what to do ...

Answer 9

okay, I was so totally wrong - this is a question about tactical approach - what is the possible capacity of a car's fuel tank?

Answer 10

5.12 hectoliters ?

Answer 11

How?

Answer 12

...

Answer 13

1 hecto liter = 10 Deca litres = (10x10) litres = 100 litres.

an car has a fuel capacity of about 20-80 litres. so 50-51 litres would be a good guess from the numbers in your option.

Now, which option equals something near about 50 liters?

Answer 14

51.2 hectoliters ?

Answer 15

i didn't know that xD

Answer 16

Sorry!!
8 times the capacity of one car --> so qould be around between, 200-700 litres.

Answer 17

.5,200 ?

Answer 18

51.2 hectolitres = 5120 liters = way too much. unless i have private jet.

Answer 19

nada.
0.52 hectolitres = 52 litres - okay for one car, but for 8 cars?? o.O nope.

Answer 20

5.12 then ?

Answer 21

approximation Lol

Answer 22

yehaaa!!

5.12 hecto = 512 litres = good for 8 cars. Hmm suits me. I'll take that :)
