Answer:
62,200 gallons of milk are still at the queue to be processed by noon
Explanation:
Step 1: Determine quantity of milk processed by noon
Quantity of milk=processing rate per hour×number of hours
where;
processing rate=7,200 gallons/hour
number of hours=8 am-noon, 12-8=4 hours
replacing;
Quantity of milk=(7,200×4)=28,800 gallons
The quantity of milk processed by noon=28,800 gallons
Step 2: Determine total quantity of order
Total quantity=91,000
Step 3: Determine remaining quantity to be processed at noon
Remaining quantity=total quantity-quantity already processed by noon
where;
total quantity=91,000
quantity already processed by noon=28,800
replacing;
Remaining quantity=(91,000-28,800)=62,200 gallons
62,200 gallons of milk are still at the queue to be processed by noon
