A hose fills up a hot tub at a rate of 3.2 gallons per minute. How many hours will it take to fill a 300 gallon hot tub?
please explain the method of unit conversions as thoroughly as possible.
Solution:
The rate of fill up is, Rate = 3.2 Gallons / minute = 3.2 g/min
The hut tub volume is 300 Gallons
You can set up this problem as follows:
Every 3.2 gallons require 1 minute, How many minutes 300 gallons require?
3.2 g 1min
300 g ? min = (300 gallons x 1min/ 3.2 gallons)=(300/32)min
= 93.75 min
