Question

a water pump pumped 675 gallons of water per minute at a fire how many gallons would be pumped in 3 hours

Answer 1

Since we know how many gallons of water are pumped per minute, we can convert these units to hours by multiplying and canceling units that we don't want in our answer:

`(675gallons)/(min)*(60min)/(1hr)*(3hr)/(1)=121,500gallons`

So now we know that in 3 hours, 121,500 gallons of water would be pumped.
