The right supply tank (larger) holds how many pounds?

The right supply tank (larger) holds how many pounds?

• A. 1308
• B. 118
• C. 222
• D. 104

Answer: (B)

The amount in pounds comes from multiplying the tank’s capacity by the fuel’s weight per gallon: weight = volume × pounds-per-gallon. In this problem, the larger right supply tank’s volume and the fuel density are given, so when you multiply those values you obtain 118 pounds. That matches the data shown for that tank, making it the correct total. The other numbers would require a different volume or density than what’s specified for this tank, so they don’t fit the given information.
