Calculate the total consumption based on the given rate and time, and enter the correct numerical value in the blank.

Cevap:A naval ship consumes

\frac{3}{4}

of a barrel of engine oil every hour of standard cruising. At this rate, the ship will consume 【6】 barrels of engine oil during an

8

-hour patrol.

The problem provides an hourly consumption rate of

\frac{3}{4}

of a barrel. To find the total amount used over an

8

-hour period, multiply the rate by the time:

\frac{3}{4} \times 8

. Treating

8

\frac{8}{1}

gives

\frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 1} = \frac{24}{4}

. Dividing

24

4

results in exactly

6

barrels.

Identify the hourly consumption rate and the total duration.

Rate:

\frac{3}{4}

barrel per hour, Time:

8

hours

Extracting the given numbers sets up the necessary calculation for finding the total consumption.

Set up the multiplication expression to find the total amount.

\frac{3}{4} \times 8

Total consumption is calculated by multiplying the rate of consumption by the total time.

Multiply the fraction by the whole number and simplify.

\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{24}{4} = 6

Converting the whole number to a fraction allows for direct multiplication of numerators and denominators to reach the final whole quantity.
