What is the rate of fuel consumption in units of miles per


A Boeing 747 jet airliner carrying 568 people burns about 5.0 gallons of jet fuel per mile.  What is the rate of fuel consumption in units of miles per gallon per person?  Is this better or worse than the rate of fuel consumption in an automobile carrying two people that gets 21.5 miles per gallon?  If the airliner were making the 3470 mile trip from new york to london, how many pounds of jet fuel would be consumed? (Jet fuel has a density of  0.803 g/mL)
