A pump can deliver water at the rate of 400 gallons per minute. How long, in hours and minutes, will it take the pump to fill a 64,000-gallon tank?

Question

A 64,000-gallon tank will be filled in _ hours and _ minutes.

I saw an example but I still did not get the example it said to divide and do the additional steps and I still get the wrong answer. I hope to get assistance with this question Thank you.

Answer 1

At 400 gpm, it will take 160 minutes to fill the tank (gallons/gpm = minutes). At 60 minutes per hour, that's 2 hours and 40 minutes. Is there more to the question?
