Question

2.5 qt/min = ____ gal/h

Answer 1

Multiply by 1 as many times as necessary.

\(\dfrac{2.5\;qt}{min}\cdot\dfrac{1\;gal}{4\;qt}\cdot What\;Else?\)

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

Think, ponder.

You have quarts. I added a factor that recognizes there are 4 quarts to a gallon. This converts the expression to gallons per minute.

What conversion yet remains?

Answer 4

4 qts

Answer 5

No, I already did the quarts to gallons. What units do we want at the end?

We need gallons per hour.

We had quarts per minutes.

I converted to gallons per minute.

How do we get hours when we have minutes?

Answer 6

hour = 60 mins omg lol idk ._. i'm confused :(

Answer 7

That is exactly correct. 1 hr = 60 min.

What is the value of this expression: \(\dfrac{60\;min}{1\;hr}\)

Answer 8

idk

Answer 9

Did you, or did you not just tell me that 60 min = 1 hour? If I make a ratio out of two things that are equal, what is the result?

5 = 5, so 5/5 = 1
Fred = Fred, so Fred/Fred = 1
Michelle Obama = First Lady, so (Michelle Obama)/(First Lady) = 1

What is the value of \(\dfrac{60\;min}{1\;hr}\)?
