1 answer

To convert 672 quarts per week to cups per hour, let's follow these steps:

  1. Convert quarts to cups.
    We know that 1 quart = 4 cups.
    Therefore,
    \( 672 \text{ quarts} \times 4 \text{ cups/quart} = 2688 \text{ cups} \).

  2. Convert weeks to hours.
    1 week = 7 days and 1 day = 24 hours, so:
    \( 1 \text{ week} = 7 \times 24 = 168 \text{ hours} \).

  3. Now calculate cups per hour.
    To find cups per hour:
    \( \frac{2688 \text{ cups}}{168 \text{ hours}} \).

    Performing the division:
    \( \frac{2688}{168} \approx 16 \).

Therefore, the equivalent rate is:

16 cups/hour.
