Question 164013
an oil barrel contains 249.1 gallons of oil. Whenever the amount of oil drops below 60 gallons, an alarm sounds. If 205.5 gallons are pumped into a delivery truck, how many gallons must be pumped back into the barrel in order to shut off the alarm? Please show all work thanks
--------------------------------------------------
After pumping: 249.1-205.5 = 43.6
---------------
Amount to add: 60-43.6 = 16.4 gallons
