Given:

Tank 01 capacity:

Barrels per feet: 62.52

Barrels per inch: 5.21

Barrels per quarter inch: 1.3

Number if barrels deposited = 160 barrels

Let's find the total in the tank in feet/inch/ and quarter.

To convert the 160 barrels to feet/inch/ and quarter-inch, we have:


\begin{gathered} feet=(160)/(62.52)=2\text{ remainder 34.96} \\ \\ Inch=(34.96)/(5.21)=6\text{ remainder 3.7} \\ \end{gathered}

Now, let's solve the remainder for quarter inch:


Quarter\text{ inch=}(3.7)/(1.3)=2.85

Therefore, we can say the total deposited into the tank in feet/inch and quarter inch is:

2 feet, 6 inches and 2.85 quarter- inch

ANSWER:

2 feet, 6 inches and 2.85 quarter -inch
