Question

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?

Answer 1

14,400 gallons.

10 gallons of water x 60 minutes = 600 per hour

600 gallons per hour x 24 hours = 14,400 gallons

Answer 2

1 hour equals 60 minutes.

10 gallons per minute x 60 minutes = 600 gallons in 1 hour.

24 hours x 600 gallons per hour = 14,400 gallons in 24 hours.
