Convert to find the equivalent rate.

Question

764 quarts / second = _ gallons / minute

Answer 1

To convert quarts per second to gallons per minute, you can follow these conversion factors:

1. There are 4 quarts in a gallon.
2. There are 60 seconds in a minute.

Now, let's convert 764 quarts/second to gallons/minute:

1. Convert quarts to gallons: \[ 764 \text{ quarts} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{4 \text{ quarts}} = 191 \text{ gallons} \]

2. Convert seconds to minutes: Since the flow rate is per second and we want per minute, we multiply by the number of seconds in a minute (60): \[ 191 \text{ gallons} \times 60 = 11460 \text{ gallons/minute} \]

Therefore, the equivalent rate is: \[ \boxed{11460} \text{ gallons/minute} \]
