Question

Wastewater is filling Barrels at the rate of 13 quarts per hour. The recycling facility picks up 96 full barrels on each trip and each barrel holds 30 quarts of wastewater. How many days are between each pickup. Show using steps

Answer 1

96 barrels, each hold 30 quarts

96*30 = 2880 quarts total

2880 / 13 quarts per hour = 221.54 hours to fill all barrels

221.54 / 24 hours = 9.23 days

so 9 days
