Need help with part C)

Compute the API Barite and low-specific gravity solids content in pounds per barrels of mud

3.2 An 11.4lbm/gal freshwater mud is found to have a solids content of 16.2vol%. (a) Compute the volume fraction of API barite and low-specific-gravity solids. Answer: 0.068 and 0.094 . (b) Compute the weight fraction of API barite and low-specific-gravity solids in the mud. Answer: 0.209 and 0.179 . (c) Compute the API barite and low-specific-gravity solids content in pounds per barrels of mud. Answer: 100 and 85.5lbm/bbl
