- A crime-scene investigator has 3.4 ounces of a sample. He needs to conduct four tests that each require 0.6 ounces of the sample, and one test that requires 0.8 ounces of the sample. How much of the sample remains after he uses it for the five tests?arrow_forwardThe top three countries in oil consumption in a certain year are as follows: the United States, Japan, and China. In millions of barrels per day, the three top countries consumed 39.8% of the world's consumed oil. The United States consumed 0.7% more than four times China's consumption. The United States consumed 5% more than triple Japan's consumption. What percent of the world oil consumption did the United States, Japan, and China consume?[27]arrow_forwardThe top three oil producers in the United States in a certain year are the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, and Alaska. The three regions were responsible for 64% of the United States oil production. The Gulf of Mexico and Texas combined for 47% of oil production. Texas produced 3% more than Alaska. What percent of United States oil production came from these regions?arrow_forward
