The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.

44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced

Let

[tex]x \to[/tex] Proportion of kerosene

[tex]y \to[/tex]  Proportion of Gasoline

So:

[tex]x = 40\%[/tex]

[tex]y = 34\%[/tex]

[tex]Total = 60\ million[/tex] ---- total barrels produced

The amount of Kerosene produced is:

[tex]Kerosene =x \times Total[/tex]

[tex]Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million[/tex]

[tex]Kerosene = 24\ million[/tex]

The amount of Gasoline produced is:

[tex]Gasoline =y \times Total[/tex]

[tex]Gasoline =34\% \times 60\ million[/tex]

[tex]Gasoline =20.4\ million[/tex]

So, the total production of both is:

[tex]Total = Kerosene + Gasolene[/tex]

[tex]Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million[/tex]

[tex]Total = 44.4 million[/tex]

Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced
