Your startup company has invented a new water filter. If the filter can process 10 gallons of water per minute, then how many gallons of water can it process in one 24-hour day?

Note that 24 hours constitutes 1440 minutes.

In one 24-hour day, or one 1440-minute day, the filter can process

10 gallons

---------------- * 1440 minutes = 14400 gallongs.

1 minute
