Answer 1

old question but will respond so this can be closed

Assuming the wastewater gets picked up as soon as they reach 96 barrels:

\[(\frac{ 96~barrels }{ 1~pickup })(\frac{ 30~quarts }{ 1~barrel })(\frac{ 1~hr }{ 13~quarts })(\frac{ 1~day }{ 24~hrs })\]notice how the units cancel out and you're left with days/1 pickup
