    The total number of barrels on each trip=96

    amount of quarts per barrel=30

    The total amount of barrels picked on each trip will be:

    96*30=2,880 quarts

    The number of days required to pickup the barrels will be:

    [total number of barrels]/[rate]

    2880/13

    =221.54 hours

    but

    1 day=24 hours

    thus;

    221.54 hrs=221.54/24 days=9.23 days
