Question 281444: I am trying to figure out how to show my work for this word problem:
The concession stand at the high school sells large 1-pint sodas. On an average night, two sodas are sold per minute. How many gallons of soda are sold per hour?

We plan the journey from pints to gallons

pints --> quarts --> gallons

2 pints makes 1 quart, and 4 quarts makes one gallon

We plan the journey from minutes to hours.  That's easy:

minutes --> hours.

60 minutes makes 1 hour.



Cancel the pt's



Cancel the qt's



Cancel the min's



You are left with



Cancel the 2's





which reduces to



or 15 gal/hr.
