A truck owner will refuel his vehicle at rate of 2 gallon of
diesel fuel every 5 seconds. If diesel fuel costs RM 2.00 per
gallon, how long it will take for the truck owner to refuel his
vehicle with RM 100 of diesel fuel?
Solution: Calculation :
RM 2.00 = RM 100
Information given: gallon x gallon
2.00 x = 100
rate = 2 gallon
5 sec x = 50
2 gallon = 50 gallon
cost = RM 2.00 / gallon
5 sec γ sec
γ = 125 sec
= 2 min 5 sec

Significant Figures
The significant figures of a number are the digits from
the first nonzero digit on the left to either (a) the last digit
(zero or nonzero) on the right if there is a decimal point, or
(b) the last nonzero digit of the number if there is no
decimal point.
