From some petroleum, you can get 30% of paraffin. how much petroleum do you need in order to get 18.75 tons of paraffin?

62.5 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the tons of petroleum.

We have been given that we can get 30% of paraffin from some petroleum.

To find the the amount of petroleum we need to figure out x such that 30% of x is 18.75.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

Let us solve for x.

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 0.30.

Therefore, we need 62.5 tons of petroleum to get 18.75 tons of paraffin.
