A vegetable-oil recovery plant has already recycled 1,400 litters out of 2,500 liters of used oil.

Initially plant has 2,500 liters of used oil.

plant has already recycled 1,400 liters

so liters of oil left = 2500 - 1400 = 1,100

So 1,100 liters of oil left

plants can recycle 24 liters of used oil per hour

So for 1,100 liters we divide by 24 to find the number of hours

[tex]\frac{1100}{24}= 45.83[/tex]

Its approximately 46 hours

Approximately 46 hours it will take to recycle 1,100 liters.
