Answer:
3 million barrels
Step-by-step explanation:
Total crude oil=60 million barrels
gasoline 34% diesel 29% total crude oil -60 million barrel · =0.34 times 60
Diesel=20,400,000 and gasoline=17,400,000
Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil
=0.34 times 60 =20.4
Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil
=0.29 times 60 { million barrels}
Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel
difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel
20.4 -17.4 milion barrels
Therefore,
The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.
