Q

What is the weight in long tons of 180 barrels of 15 pound per gallon drilling mud?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between barrels and gallons when dealing with liquid cargo calculations • How to convert total weight in pounds to long tons (1 long ton = 2,240 lb) • Using the basic formula: Weight = Volume × Density

💭 Think About

• First find the total number of gallons contained in 180 barrels, then think about how many pounds that represents using the given mud density. • After you have the total pounds, consider how to convert pounds into long tons correctly, paying attention to the exact value of a long ton. • Compare your calculated long tons with the answer choices and see which one is closest to your computed result.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the number of gallons in one barrel used in maritime/industrial cargo calculations. • Verify you are using 1 long ton = 2,240 lb, not short tons or metric tons. • Double-check multiplication and division steps so the order of operations (barrels → gallons → pounds → long tons) is correct.
