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? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
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.
