Answer: amount = 2466.95L

Explanation:

given that the speed is = 1900./kmh i. e. 1hr/900km

distance = 1050km

the fuel burns at a rate of 74.4 L/min

therefore the amount of fuel that the jet consumes on a 1050. km becomes;

total fuel used = time * fuel burning rate

where time = distance / speed

∴ total fuel used (consumed) = time * fuel burning rate

total fuel consumed = (1050km * 1hr/1900km) * (60min / 1hr * 74.4L/1min)

total fuel consumed = 2466.95L
