The table below shows the percentages of different fractions obtained from crude oil sourced from three different oil fields: Field X, Field Y, and Field Z.
| Fraction | Percentage of fraction in crude oil from Field X (%) | Percentage of fraction in crude oil from Field Y (%) | Percentage of fraction in crude oil from Field Z (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gases | 3 | 5 | 8 |
| Petrol | 10 | 18 | 25 |
| Kerosene | 8 | 12 | 15 |
| Diesel | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| Fuel Oil | 32 | 30 | 22 |
| Bitumen | 35 | 19 | 10 |
A sample of crude oil from Field Y has a mass of 150 kg.
