About 5 barrels will be produced in a day. 172 divided by 42 equals 4.09. You can't have part of a barrel. Therefore, you will round up to five barrels.

Answer:

About 4barrels of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount of gallons of oil an oil well produce everyday is 172gallons and a standard oil barrel holds 42gallons of oil, the amount of barrel produced in a day can be expressed as;

Amount of barrel produced per day = Total gallons of oil per day/amount of oil per barrel

Amount of barrel produced per day = 172/42

Amount of barrel produced per day = 4.10

This shows that about 4barrels of oil will be produced in a day.

lord [1]

Using proportions, it is found that Leanne's family should book their tickets at Section U1 to maximize their chances of having a "perfect" view.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the section with the highest proportion of perfect views should be chosen, hence:

pL1 = 57/90 = 0.633

pL2 = 33/52 = 0.635

pL3 = 47/75 = 0.623

PU1 = 55/84 = 0.655

pU2 = 27/43 = 0.628

pU3 = 22/35 = 0.629

Leanne's family should book their tickets at Section U1 to maximize their chances of having a "perfect" view.

Debby, Ella and Unique invest $10,000 each into an oil company. Debby owns 2000 $1 common stocks, Ella owns 1000 of 5% $50 prefe
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Ella has the greatest return in the current year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Debby would receive $0.80 for each of her 2000 common stock in the oil company,hence Debby's return on investment in the current year is $1600($0.80*2000)

Besides,Ella's return on the stock investment in the current year is computed thus:

Ella's return= 5%*1000*$50=$2,500

In addition,Unique's dollar return on the investment is computed as follows:

Unique's return on  investment=4%*2000*$20=$1,600

From the above computations,Ella seems to have the highest return in the current year of $2,500 whereas the two others managed to have $1600 return each

Kristin spent $120 on shirts. Dress shirts cost $40 and t-shirts cost $8. If she bought a total of 7 shirts, then how many of ea
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: She bought 2 dress shirts and 5 t-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked dress shirts with x and t-shirts with y.

Now we will make equations to solve this problem:

x + y = 7  =>  y = 7 - x

40 x + 8 y = 120

When we replace y = (7 - x) in the previous equation we get:

40 x + 8 (7 -x) = 120  40 x + 56 - 8 x = 120  => 32 x = 120 - 56 =>

32 x = 64  => x = 64/32 = 2 => x = 2

y = 7 - x = 7 - 2 = 5 =>  y = 5

x = 2 dress shirts

y = 5 t-shirts

God with you!!!
