According to the One-Third Rule on Fuel Use, how should fuel be allocated?

Half for operation, half as a reserve
One-fourth for operation, three-fourths as a reserve
Use 1/3 for operation, keep 2/3 as a reserve
Use 1/3 for operation, keep 1/3 for return, 1/3 as a reserve

The correct answer is: Use 1/3 for operation, keep 1/3 for return, 1/3 as a reserve

Fuel should be allocated according to the One-Third Rule on Fuel Use by using 1/3 of the fuel for operation and keeping the other 2/3 as a reserve. This ensures that there is enough fuel for the intended operation while also having a backup in case of unexpected circumstances. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not follow the One-Third Rule and do not have enough reserved fuel. Option C is incorrect because it only accounts for the operation and does not have a reserve for unforeseen events. Therefore, option D is the correct and most efficient allocation of fuel according to the One-Third Rule.
