A barrel of crude oil contains 5.61 cubic feet of oil. How many barrels of oil are contained in 1 mile (5280 feet) of a pipeline
1 answer:
Considering the volume of a cylinder, we have that:
- There are 185 barrels of oil in the pipeline.
- One mile of oil is worth $18,500.
The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given as follows:
Considering that the radius is half the diameter, and that each inch has 0.0833 feet, the parameters in feet for this problem are given as follows:
r = 0.25, h = 5280.
Hence the volume in cubic feet is:
V = 3.14 x (0.25)² x 5280 = 1036.2 feet³.
The number of barrels in this pipeline, considering the volume of a single barrel, is given as follows:
1036.2/5.61 = 185 barrels.
The worth of 1 mile of oil, considering the price of $100 per barrel, is given by:
185 x 100 = $18,500.
One mile of oil is worth $18,500.

Geometric sequence
Each term in a geometric sequence can be computed as the previous term by a constant number called the common ratio. The formula to get the term n is

The problem describes Georgie took 275 mg of the medicine for her cold in the first hour and that in each subsequent hour, the amount of medicine in her body is 91% (0.91) of the amount from the previous hour. It can be written as
amount in hour n = amount in hour n-1 * 0.91
a)
This information provides the necessary data to write the general term as
b)
In the 8th hour (n=8), the remaining medicine present is Georgie's body is
