a hose can pump 6 cups of water per second.how many gallons would it pump in one hour? how do i do this math problem?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, evaluate -\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will need to determine how many cups are in a gallon - there are 16 cups in a gallon\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next you need to know how many seconds in a hour 60 (seconds in a minute) * 60 (minutes in a hour) = 3600 seconds in a hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you know that the hose pumps 6 cups per second, but you need to figure out how many gallons it will pump in an hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a * b = c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let a = number of cups in a second
\n" ); document.write( "Let b = number of seconds in an hour
\n" ); document.write( "Let c = total number of cups in a hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 * 3600 = c
\n" ); document.write( "c= 21,600 cups in an hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you will need to divide c by x (which will equal the number of cups in a gallon)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c/x = z (number of gallons in an hour
\n" ); document.write( "21,600/16 = z
\n" ); document.write( "z=1350 gallons \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
