A plane started on a flight at 9:30 a. m and arrived at its destination at 1:45pm. The plane used 51 gallons of gas. The number of gallons used per hour was Will mark Brainlist

12 gallons per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Start time of flight = 9:30 a.m

Arrival time of flight = 1:45p.m

Gallons of gas used during duration of flight = 51 gallons

Number of hours spent during flight:

Arrival time - start time

1:45 pm - 9:30 am = 4hours and 15minutes

4hours 15minutes = 4.25hours

If 4.25hours requires 51 gallons of gas;

Then 1 hour will require ( 51 / 4.25)gallons

= 51 / 4.25

= 12 gallons
