Question

An oil company refined 4,122,333 L of oil.

They divided the oil into barrels which can hold at the most 123 L.

What will be the minimum number of barrels needed for the oil?

Answer 1

Answer:

Quantity of oil an oil company refined = 4,122,333 L

Maximum quantity of oil a barrel can hold = 123 L

The minimum number of barrels needed for the oil is = 4,122,333 L ÷ 123 L = 33,514.902439

Answer 2

Answer:

dividing 4122333 by 123 we get number of barrels= 33514 and 111L oil left

so if we increase number of barrels to 33515 then each can hold 122.99964 L of oil which is little below to the maximum capacity of a barrel.
