Based on the initial volume of oil and the amount being released every 2 hours, the gallons remaining after 6 hours will be 32,000 gallons.
The oil tanker initially had 108,000 gallons. This will be reduced by a third after the first two hours and the tanker will have:
= 108,000 - (108,000 x 1/3)
= 72,000 gallons
After the next two hours it will be:
= 72,000 x ( 72,000 x 1/3)
= 48,000 gallons
After the next two hours which now makes 6 hours it will be:
= 48,000 x (48,000 x 1/3)
= 32,000 gallons
In conclusion, there will be 32,000 gallons remaining.
