Unknown Story

Setting:Where: NASAWho: Sheldon Howard Goal: from earth to marsEarth to mars = 157km10 gallons = 8km (first 8km)need to add 1.75 gallons = next 3kmHoward and Sheldon want to know how many gallons of gasoline for their spaceship would be needed to travel from earth to mars.
The Commander wants us to have a short visit to Mars. I was asked how many gallons are we going to need for the travel.
I will try to ask one of the staff from the shipping specialist.
I see. We already have the distance of mars from here, which is 157km. Now, we need to know how many gallons would it take to make our spaceship tank to be full.
*****************AFTER 5MINS*****************
They said that 10 gallons will make our spaceship full.
I was also informed that we need to add 1.75 gallons to the next 3kms while in flight.
Great. Let's start the computation. Based on my experience, in a full tank, we would be able to travel for 8kms. Using the distance of 157km as a T function, we will consume 10 gallons on the first 8km.
Okay, thanks for that information. So I'll just add it up on the computation.
(Computation)T(d) = 10 + 1.75(d-8)T(d) = 10 + 1.75d-14T(d) = 10 + 1.75(151-14)T(d) = 11.75(151-14)T(d) = 11.75x137T(d) = 148.75 Gallons
Looking at the computation, it seems we would need a big hand to load these gallons into our spaceship.
I'll go ahead and inform the Commander. Thanks for that.
I also think so. The total gallons that we need to have is 148.75 gallons.
