Answer: 3 million barrels
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :- Total crude oil= 60 million barrels
Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil
[tex]=0.34\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=20.4\text{ million barrels}[/tex]
Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil
[tex]=0.29\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=17.4\text{ million barrels}[/tex]
Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel
difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel
[tex]20.4\text{ million barrels}-17.4\text{ million barrels}\\=3\text{ million barrels}[/tex]
Therefore, The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.
3 million more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced and this can be determine by using the arithmetic operations.
Given :
The quantity of Gasoline = 34% of total crude oil
[tex]=\dfrac{34}{100}\times 60[/tex]
= 20.4 million barrels
The quantity of Diesel = 29% of total crude oil
[tex]=\dfrac{29}{100}\times 60[/tex]
= 17.4 million barrels
Quantity of Gasoline - Quantity of Diesel = 20.4 - 17.4 = 3 million barrels
Therefore, 3 million more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced.
