An industrial engine worked for 12.5 minutes. It revolved at 200 cycle

Question

An industrial engine worked for 12.5 minutes. It revolved at 200 cycles per minute. If the engine consumed 10,000 milliliters of fuel, how much fuel was consumed by the engine per cycle?

A. 0.25 milliliters
B. 0.5 milliliters
C. 1 milliliter
D. 2 milliliters
E. 4 milliliters

Nidzo · Answer

fuel consumed per cycle = 10 000/ total number of cycles

200 cycles per minute for 12.5 minutes: 200*12.5 =2500

10 000/2500 = 4

Answer E

MathRevolution · Answer

1 minute = 200 cycles

=> 12.5 minutes = 12.5 * 200 = 2,500 cycles

=> 2,500 cycles = 10,000 milliliters of fuel

=> 1 cycle =  \frac{10,000 }{ 2,500}  = 4 milliliters of fuel

Answer E

Aparna05 · Answer

Engine revolved 200 cycles in 1 Min. It worked for 12.5 minutes. 
Hence total number of cycles is 200*12.5 = 2500 Cycles. 
During this period it consumed 10,000 milliliters of fuel.
Hence for 1 cycle fuel consumed is 10,000/2500 = 4 milliliters

Hence IMO Option E is correct choice.

tbhauer · Answer

12.5 minutes  *  \frac{200 cycles }{minute}  = 2500 cycles
 \frac{10000 mL }{ 2500 cycles}  =  \frac{4 mL }{ cycle} 
Ans = E

Solution 
 
  Given  
• An industrial engine worked for 12.5 minutes 
• It revolved at 200 cycles per minute 
• It consumed 10,000 ml of fuel

To find  
• The fuel consumed by the engine per cycle

Approach and Working out   
• Number of cycles the engine revolved in 1 minute = 200
 o So, the number of cycles the engine revolved in 12.5 minutes = 200 * 12.5 = 2500  
• Total fuel consumed in all 2500 cycles = 10,000 ml
 o Thus, fuel consumed in all 1 cycle = (10,000/2500) ml = 4 ml

Correct Answer: Option E

An industrial engine worked for 12.5 minutes. It revolved at 200 cycle
