Question

your job in a company is to fill quart sized bottles of oil from a full 25 gallon of oil drum . then you are to pack 6 quarts of many cases of oil can you get from a 25 drum of oil?

Answer 1

To determine the cases of oil can you get from a 25 drum of oil:

​

Step 1: 1 gallon = 4 quarts

Hence from 25 gallon oil drum, 25 x 4 = 100 quart-size bottles can be filled.

Step 2: One case will pack 6 quart size bottles.

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ gallon}\Rightarrow\text{ 4 quarts} \\ 25\text{ gallon }\Rightarrow\text{ 25 x 4 = 100 quarts} \end{gathered}`

1 case will pack 6 quarts

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ case }\Longrightarrow\text{6 quarts} \\ x\text{ case }\Longrightarrow\text{ 100 quarts} \\ 6x=100 \\ x=(100)/(6) \\ x=16.67\text{ cases} \\ x\approx17\text{ cases} \end{gathered}`

Therefore number of cases from a 25 drum of oil = 17 cases of oil

Hence the correct answer is Option B
