2. (A) How Many Miles Can Each Type of Lorry Travel on a Full Tank of Fuel?

TRANSPORT

The majority of goods are transported from the Federal Warehouse to the stores using either an articulated lorry or a fixed body lorry.

Type of Vehicle Fuel Consumption Fuel Capacity (Distance travelled using 1 gallon (A full tank will hold) of fuel) Articulated Lorry 7.5 mpg 300 litres Fixed Body Lorry 8 mpg 250 litres

1. Using the facts that 1 litre = 2.2 pints and 8 pints = 1 gallon work out the fuel capacity of the two vehicles in gallons.

2. (a) How many miles can each type of lorry travel on a full tank of fuel? (b) If 1 mile = 1.6km, how many kms can each type of lorry travel on a full tank of fuel?

3. Both types of lorries use Diesel Engine Road Vehicle fuel ( DERV ). If the cost of 1 litre of fuel is 79.9p how much will it cost to fill up an articulated lorry and how much will it cost to fill up a fixed body lorry?

4. The fleet of lorries is made up of 6 rigid body lorries and 12 articulated lorries. How much will it cost to fill up the whole fleet of lorries?

At the warehouse goods are loaded into cages which are then wheeled onto the lorry to be transported to the store.

The dimensions for an articulated lorry and for a cage are shown on the diagrams below.

9 feet 158cm

82cm 2.4 metres 69cm 5. What is the maximum number of cages that can be wheeled onto the lorry?

6. If the lorry is full of packed cages what volume of air is left above the cages?

7. What percentage of the trailer is used to transport the goods?

8. Using the distance chart below write the distances between the following towns on the route map provided.

9. Using the map together with the chart of distances above is it possible for a lorry to leave the Ipswich warehouse, drop goods at every store and return to the warehouse on a full tank of fuel? 10. How many times can each type of lorry do the journey in question 9?

11. On the map shade the area within 10kms of Woodbridge. How many marked stores are there within the shaded section?

12. On the map shade the area within 20kms of Framlingham. How many marked stores are there within the shaded section?

13. Shade the area which is within 10kms of Woodbridge and also 20kms of Framlingham. How many marked stores are there?

14. Which towns are located in grid references (3,6), (1,7) and (1,4)?

15. Write down the grid references for Hadleigh and Leiston.
