Answer 14

no, how many BTU in 5 LITERS not barrels

Answer 15

Gotcha

Answer 16

So 5 divided by 160 times 4 million?

640 million / 5 = BTU energy

IDK

Answer 19

Since it is unit conversion,

Answer 20

Overall, not totally sure.

Answer 21

Ok

Answer 22

1 barrel, 160L, or 4 million BTUs.

Cross multiply that, 640 million.

Then to find 5Ls, I just divided the product, 128 million BTUs, though it still confuses me.
