We use the given data above to calculate the volume of gasoline that is being burned per minute by commercial airplanes. 

Amount burned of 1 commercial airplane = 3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second
Number of airplanes = 5.1 × 10³ airplanes

We calculate as follows:

 3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second / 1 airplane (5.1 × 10³ airplanes)(60 second / 1 min ) = 1.2 x 10^9 mL / min
