2.5 qt/min. = _gal/min

Answer 1

1 gallon = 4 quarts

Answer 2

i know that! but i don't know how to work it out!!

Answer 3

You can set up a proportion:

2.5 / 5 = x / 1

Solve for x. You'll get less than 1 gallon.

Answer 4

oh!!! i get it now, thank you!!

Answer 5

multiply by the conversion so that the units you do not want cancel

2.5 qt * (1 gal/4 qt) leaves ? gal

You had a qt on the top and a qt on the bottom so the qt units canceled and you are left with gallons

Answer 6

Oops -- it should be 2.5/4 = x/1

Thanks Damon for correcting this.
