A supersonic aircraft consumes 5320 imperial gallons of kerosene per hour of flight and flies an average
Question:
A supersonic aircraft consumes 5320 imperial gallons of kerosene per hour of flight and flies an average of 14 hours per day. It takes roughly seven tons of crude oil to produce one ton of kerosene. The density of kerosene is 0.965 g/cm3. How many planes would it take to consume the entire annual world production of 4.02 x 109 metric tons of crude oil?

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object has to its volume. An object with much matter in a certain volume has a high density. Density helps us predict whether something will float. In this video, the density of oil is assessed by adding food color to the oil above water.
