Question
water flows through a pipe at a rate of 6 quarts per hour. express this rate of flow in cups per day.
*note: you must use these exact conversion factors to get this question right.
| volume | time |
|---|---|
| 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (cups) | 1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min) |
| 1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt) | 1 day (day) = 24 hours (hr) |
| 1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt) | 1 week (week) = 7 days (days) |
| 1 cubic foot (ft³) = 7.481 gallons (gal) | 1 month (month) = 30 days (days) |
| 1 liter (l) = 1000 milliliters (ml) | 1 year (year) = 365 days (days) |
| 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1000 liters (l) | |
| 1 gallon (gal) = 3.785 liters (l) |
|1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = |
Step1: Convert quarts to cups
Since 1 quart = 2 pints and 1 pint = 2 cups, then 1 quart = 2×2 = 4 cups. So 6 quarts per hour is 6×4 = 24 cups per hour.
Step2: Convert hours to days
Since 1 day = 24 hours, and the rate is 24 cups per hour, then the rate in cups per day is 24×24 = 576 cups per day.
