I think it's B but let me see if I did the math right

OpenStudy (phi):

start with 100 gal in 6 hours, written like this \[ \frac{100 \ gals}{6 \ hours} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (phi):

now change that to a decimal by dividing 6 into 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 16.7

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

OpenStudy (phi):

you get 16.66666 (the 6's repeat) but you can round it to 16.7 gals/ hour
