Question

A hose fills a tank at a rate of 24 gallons per minute.What is the rate in quarts per second?Enter your answer in the box.qt/sec

Answer 1

Given data: rate of 24 gallons per minute

Turn into quarts per second:

`\begin{gathered} 1gal=4qt \\ 1min=60sec \\ \\ (24gal)/(min)*(4qt)/(1gal)*(1min)/(60sec)=1.6qt/sec \end{gathered}`

Then, the rate is 1.6 qt/sec
