Question

Convert from Barrels to (Feet, inches and quarter inch.Tank # 01 capacity:Barrels per feet: 33Barrels per inch: 2.75Barrels per quarter inch: 0.69If you deposited 192.76 barrels into tank # 01. What would be the total deposited into the tank in feet/inch/ and quarter inch?

Answer 1

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given ratio

Barrels per feet means number of barrels for every one feet and is given as 33

Barrels per inch means number of barrels for every one inch and is given as 2.75

Barrels per quarter inch means number of barrels for every one quarter inch and is given as 0.69

STEP 2: Write the given amount deposited

This is given as 192.76

STEP 3: convert to the required units

the total deposited into the tank in feet will be calculated as:

`\begin{gathered} 33barrels=1ft \\ 192.76\text{ }barrels\text{ will be:}(192.76)/(33)ft=5.84121212ft\approx5.841ft \end{gathered}`

the total deposited into the tank in inch will be calculated as:

`\begin{gathered} 2.75\text{ barrels}=1in \\ 192.76\text{ barrels}=(192.76)/(2.75)in=70.09454545in\approx70.095in \end{gathered}`

the total deposited into the tank in quarter inch will be calculated as:

`\begin{gathered} 0.69\text{ barrels}=1\text{ quarter inch} \\ 192.76\text{ barrels}=(192.76)/(0.69)quarter\text{ inch}=279.3623188\approx279.362\text{ quarter inch} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answers are given approximately to 3 decimal places as:

`\begin{gathered} 5.841\text{ }ft \\ \\ 70.095\text{ }inch \\ \\ 279.362\text{ quarter inch} \end{gathered}`
