Xavier has been hired by a live performance group that are famous for their strange and demanding requests. He must transport 228\,323 litres of edible slime from a production facility and deliver it to a nearby concert hall.
If even a single litre is missing, he will not be paid.
Xavier has a truck with a large, adjustable tank. The base of the tank has an area of 9.5 square metres, and to avoid collisions on his route the top of the tank must be no more than 3.94 metres from the base.
How many trips must Xavier make from the slime production facility to the concert hall?
