Harris has two pipes to fill his aquarium. Pipe A can fill the aquarium at the rate of 4 gallons per minute. Pipe B can fill the aquarium at the rate of 840 liters per hour.

[1 gallon = 3.79 liters]

Part A: Which pipe will fill the aquarium faster? Justify your answer by comparing the rates after converting to the same units. (5 points)

Part B: If the total volume of the aquarium was 500 gallons and you checked on how full it was every 0.25 hours, describe appropriate scales on the x-axis and y-axis to graph the rate at which the faster pipe fills the aquarium. (5 points)
