Question

Convert from Barrels to (Feet, inches andquarter inch.Tank # 01 capacity:Barrels per feet: 62.52Barrels per inch: 5.21Barrels per quarter inch: 1.3If you deposited 170 barrels into tank # 01 What would be the total deposited into the tank in feet/inch/ and quarter inch?

Answer 1

Total capacity in feet = 2.72 feet

Total capacity in inches = 32.63 inches

Total capacity in quarter inches = 130.77 quarter inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the capacity of the tank as;

62.52 barrels per feet

5.21 barrels per inch

1.3 barrels per quarter inch

If 170 barrels was deposited into the tank, we can go ahead and determine the total deposited into the tank in feet/inch/ and quarter inch as seen below;

Total capacity in feet:

`\begin{gathered} (62.52)/(1)=(170)/(x) \\ \\ 62.52x=170 \\ \\ x=(170)/(62.52) \\ \\ x=2.72\text{ feet} \end{gathered}`

Total capacity in inches:

`\begin{gathered} (5.21)/(1)=(170)/(y) \\ \\ 5.21y=170 \\ \\ y=(170)/(5.21) \\ \\ y=32.63\text{ inches} \end{gathered}`

Total capacity in quarter inches:

`\begin{gathered} (1.3)/(1)=(170)/(z) \\ \\ 1.3z=170 \\ \\ z=(170)/(1.3) \\ \\ z=130.77\text{ quarter inches} \end{gathered}`
