1) (5 points) (Adapted from nasa.gov) On 23 July 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 ran completely out of fuel about halfway through its flight from Montreal to Edmonton. Fuel loading

was miscalculated through misunderstanding of the recently adopted metric system. For the trip, the pilot calculated a fuel requirement of 22,300 kilograms. There were 7,682 liters already in the tanks. If a liter of jet fuel has amass of 0.803 kilograms, how much fuel (in liters) needed to be added for the trip?
