A school bus requires 40 liters of fuel per week. If your school district runs 5,000 school buses, how many liters of fuel will the buses consume in 52 weeks? A. 15 million liters B. 10 million liters C. 10.4 million liters D. 200 million liters

Answer:

C. 10.4 million liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, you want to create an equation to help you solve this.  You know that there are 5,000 school buses and they use 40 liters of fuel per week.  So, you know that 5,000 · 40x would be the amount of fuel for x weeks (where x is the number of weeks).

2. To figure out how many liters would be used in 52 weeks, simply put 52 in for x.  So, the expression is 5,000·40(52).

3.  Multiply 40(52) to get 2,080.  Your expression now looks like this: 5,000·2,080

4. Multiply 5,000(2,080) to get your answer of 10,400,000 liters.
