Question

You are given the following problem" "A car burns 0.85 gallons of gas per hour when idling. Express this rate in quarts per minute." Which of the given conversion factors will be useful to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Given,

A car burns 0.85 gallons of gas per hour.

We know,

0.85 gallon = 3.4 quartz.

1 hour=60 min.

Thus,

0.85 gallon per hour=3.4/60 quart per min=0.057 quart per min.

Thus the conversion factor is 0.057 quart per min.
