You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You want an answer in ( gallons / hr ), so
\n" ); document.write( "in terms of just units:
\n" ); document.write( "( quarts / sec ) x ( gallons / quart ) x ( sec / min ) x ( min / hr ) = ( gallons / hr )
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This is easier to see if you pull out all the like units:
\n" ); document.write( "( quarts / quarts ) x ( sec/ sec ) x ( min / min ) x ( gallons / hr ) = ( gallons / hr )
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Using your numbers:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+1%2F2.2+%29%2A%28+1%2F4+%29%2A%28+60%2F1+%29%2A%28+60%2F1+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3600+%2F+%28+2.2%2A4+%29+=+409.1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To the nearest 100 GPH, you need a 400 GPH pump\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
