Last one and them im done @matricked lol i promise u have been a huge help :)
take difference of plane weights and divide by difference in number of gallons of fuel on board to get weight of fuel per gallon. Now subtract target number of gallons from number of gallons used in one of the weight measurements to find number of additional gallons needed, multiply by weight per gallon found, and add to the weight of the plane.
first find the weight of each gallon of fuel thus each gallon weighs = (2241-2024)/(55-20) =217/35 =6.2
hence for additional 65-55=10 gallons it will weigh 62 more
62+2241
is it 2303
2303 is what I recall it being the last time I solved this one...
lol it was i double checked thanks for helping me @matricked im not that bright in math
Actually 6.2 lbs/gallon is a little heavy, 6 is more typical for piston engine aviation fuel
