A. 10 hours 10 min
B. 9 hours 8 min
C. 8 hours 2 min
D. 5 hours
Answer: C.
3. Correctly match the Oxygen cylinder conversion factor to correct tank size.
A. D tank = 3.14, E tank = 0.28, G tank = 2.41, H tank = 0.16
B. D tank = 0.16, E tank = 0.28, G tank = 2.41, H tank = 3.14
C. D tank = 0.28, E tank = 0.16, G tank = 3.14, H tank = 2.41
D. D tank = 0.16, E tank = 2.41, G tank = 0.28, H tank = 3.14
Answer: B.
