Distance

my application of poyla
what do i know?
What do i want--how far?

you got 10 gallons of fuel.
you're losing fuel to two sources--the leak at 1.5 gal/hr
and the car is burning it.
the car is traveling at 60 mile/hr
and it gets 30 mile/gal
so it burns (60 mile/hr)/(30 mile/gal)=2 gal/hr
so the tank is emptying at 1.5 gal/hr+2gal/hr=3.5 gal/hr

how long to empty tank?
10 gal/(3.5 gal/hr)=(10/3.5) hr

how far?
60 mile/hr(10/3.5)hr=(600/3.5) mile
