What is the weight in long tons of 180 barrels of 15 pound per gallon drilling mud?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 50.63 long tons.
To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the total weight of the 180 barrels of 15 pound per gallon drilling mud. First, we need to convert the weight per gallon to weight per barrel (42 gallons per barrel). 15 pounds per gallon x 42 gallons per barrel = 630 pounds per barrel. Then, we multiply the number of barrels (180) by the weight per barrel (630 pounds) to get the total weight in pounds (113,400 pounds). Finally, we convert the total weight from pounds to long tons (1 long ton = 2,240 pounds), which results in 50.63 long tons.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the weight from pounds to long tons or do not accurately represent the total weight of the 180 barrels of drilling mud.
