4.09 barrels of oil will be produced per day.

  • Total amount of gallons produced per day = 172
  • Total amount a standard oil barrel holds = 42
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

To determine the amount of barrels of oil the well will produce in a day, total amount of gallons produced per day (172) will be divided by total amount a standard oil barrel holds (42)

Therefore,

= \frac{172}{42}

= 4.09

Hence, the well will produce 4.09 (or about 5) barrels of oil in one day.

The above is a typical number problem, and has an element of fraction in it. To derive the solution to the given math problem, an order of operation was made use of; precisely BODMAS, and it represents, Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.

The Division arm was used to derived the solution to the given math problem.

So a well produced 172 gallons and each barrel can hold 42 so 172/42 =4.09 so it would fill 4 full barrels with a bit of excess

a tea company surveyed shoppers at two different malls. shoppers were asked whether they prefer sweetened or unsweetened tea. at
FromTheMoon [43]
First, let's create the ratios of sweetened to unsweetened. To do this, you would have to subtract the number of people that preferred unsweetened from the total.
Westside mall: 15:30 or \frac{15}{30}
Eastside mall: 13:26 or \frac{13}{26}

Now, you would divide to both ratios.
15 ÷ 30 = 0.5
13 ÷ 26 = 0.5 

They have the same sum, meaning, they are the same. 

Westside Mall shoppers are just as likely to prefer unsweetened tea as Eastside Mall shoppers. 

I hope this helps!
