Question 1054619: Find the equation of proportionality that relates y to x.
The number of fluid ounces y in x barrels of crude. (One barrel of crude oil contains 42 gallons of oil, and each gallon contains 128 fluid ounces.)
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In terms of units, with no numbers:
[ ounces ] = [ ounces/gallon ] x [ gallons/barrel ] x [ barrels ]
If you agree with this, just plug in letters and numbers
Note that if the units don't work out, then nothing can work out
