Question

6A barrel holds 21 qt of oil. Trina drains the barrel at a rate of 6 c per min. How
long does it take her to empty the barrel? Show your work. (1 qt = 4 c )

Answer 1

Answer:

14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The barrel held 21 quarts of oil, which is equal to 84 cups. Trina drains the barrel at 6 cups per minute, so to find out how much time it takes her to drain it, divide 84 by 6:

84 / 6 = 14

So, it took Trina 14 minutes to drain the whole barrel.
