Question

A pipe is leaking at 1.5 cups per day.about how many gallons per week is the pipe leaking

Answer 1

Use the unit analysis method to set up a "daisy chain" of conversion rates (fractions) set up so the units "cancel" and you're left with the desired result: gals/wk.

7days/1wk x 1.5 cups/day x 1 pt/2 cups x 1 qt/2pts x 1 gal/4 qts = gal/wk?
