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

anonymous · Answer

hour

goldphenoix · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

so it would be larger

goldphenoix · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

60

goldphenoix · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

3120??

goldphenoix · Answer

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?
