<PRE><B>Question 75074</B>
a gallon contains 4 quarts. A cartooning machine can fill 120 one-quart cartons a minute. How long will it take to put 600 gallons of orange juice into cartons?
----------
120 one-quart cartons = 120/4 gallons = 30 gallons
If the machine produces 30 gallons per minute set up a proportion to
get the time required to produce 600 gallons:
x min/600 gal = 1min/30 gal
x=(600/30)(min)
x=20 minutes
===============
It will take 20 min for the machine to produce 600 gallons.
Cheers,
Stan H.
