Question

1.7cubic feet per minutes Given that one cubic foot is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons what would the pump rating be in gallons per hour round to the nearest whole gallon per hour

Answer 1

449 per hour

Explanation:

First of all we know the question is asking us to round to the nearest tenth and find the rate of gallons per hour.

First:

Know there are 60 minutes in one hour

Second:

Take 7.48 and multiply it by 60

Third:

This should give you---448.8

Which is correct, but we are not done

Fourth:

Round to the nearest whole number

448.8

8 is closer to 10 than it is to 1 so we add 0.2

Which gives us 449

Five:

Just add the "per hour"

Six:

Your answer is---449 per hour---
