Alright. So a barrel is filling at a rate of 52 gallons per minute.
Which is longer, hour or minute?

Answer 3

hour

So what do you think the answer is to your question?

Answer 5

so it would be larger

Answer 6

Yes. Also, how many minutes are there in an hour?

Answer 7

60

Answer 8

So if 60 minutes is equal to one hour. Then what is the rate of the barrel filling up?

3120??

Answer 10

Correct. So you can say that the difference between the rate of the barrel filling up in minute to the rate of the barrel filling up in hour is 60 times. Make sense?
