A certain Formula 1 car fuel consumption is 2.5 liters per kilometer, and the supply pump injects 11 liters of fuel per second. Every time a pit stop for refueling is needed (i.e., the fuel tank is almost empty), fuel is injected during 6.5 seconds. In a 3.5-kilometer per lap race circuit, what is the maximum possible number of laps this car can run before it needs a new pit stop for refueling?

Total fuel pumped= 71.6lts (6.5x11)
Total distance = 28.64 since 2.5L gives 1km
Total laps = 28.64/3.5 =~8

The correct answer is (B).
We follow the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.
