Answer 1

To convert 36 gallons per year to quarts per month, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Convert gallons to quarts:

   • 1 gallon = 4 quarts
   • Therefore, 36 gallons = 36 × 4 = 144 quarts.

2. Convert years to months:

   • 1 year = 12 months
   • Therefore, 36 gallons per year = 144 quarts per year.

3. Convert to per month:

   • To find quarts per month, divide by the number of months in a year:
   • 144 quarts per year ÷ 12 months per year = 12 quarts per month.

So, the equivalent rate is:

12 quarts per month.
