if theres 7 gallons per minute how many quarts is there per second

Question

if there are 7 gallons in a minute how many quarts per second would there be.

Answer 1

7 gallons    4 quarts         1 minute

----------*------------*------------

1 minute     1 gallon        60 seconds

 

Notice that the units of "gallons" cancel (one on top and one on bottom)

The units of "minutes" cancels (one on top and one on bottom)

 

So what is left has units of quarts per second.  So just simplify the numbers.  Multiply all top numbers together.  Multiply all bottom numbers together.  The divide top÷bottom

 

28    7

---=---- = 0.466667 quarts per second.

60    15
