Question

How many more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced last year gasoline 34% diesel 29% total crude oil -60 million barrels Total

Answer 1

Diesel=20,400,000 and gasoline=17,400,000

Answer 2

Answer: 3 million barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Total crude oil= 60 million barrels

Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil

$=0.34\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=20.4\text{ million barrels}$

Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil

$=0.29\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=17.4\text{ million barrels}$

Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel

difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel

$20.4\text{ million barrels}-17.4\text{ million barrels}\\=3\text{ million barrels}$

Therefore, The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.
