- A small amount of crude oil is used for manufacturing plastic. Scientists estimate that about 3 fluid ounces of crude oil is used to manufacture 1 million plastic bottles. So the number of fluid ounces of crude oil y used to manufacture plastic bottles is directly proportional to the number of bottles x that are manufactured. (a) Find the equation of proportionality that relates y to x. (b) In 2006, about 29 billion plastic bottles were used in the United States. Use the equation found in part (a) to determine the number of barrels of crude oil that were used to manufacture these plastic bottles. (One barrel of crude oil contains 42 gallons of oil, and each gallon contains 128 fluid ounces. Round your answer to one decimal place.) barrelsarrow_forwardAhmed took a total of 32 quizzes over the course of 4 weeks.
