Define a variable ** Let x be the consumption in 90 hours.
How many liters does the heating plant consume in 90 hours? ** We have: 21/7 = 90/x because the heating plant always consumes fuel at the same rate
How many liters does the heating plant consume in 90 hours? ** Multiplying both sides by 7x, we get 21x = 90 * 7
How many liters does the heating plant consume in 90 hours? ** This can be simplified to 21x = 630
How much does the heating plant consume in 90 hours? ** So, the consumption in 90 hours is x = 630 / 21 = <<630/21=30>>30 liters.
