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,
= 
= 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.
