At first I assumed you were asking for 3 different ratios equivalent to 1/10, which could be 2/20, 10/100, or 5/50. But it seems you are asking for ratios equivalent to 1/10 gallons to second.

For this, you could change both the 'gallons' and the 'seconds' to get different unit with the same ratio.

1/10 gallon/second * 60 seconds / 1 minute = 6 gallons/minute

1/10 gallon/second * 1 gallon / 4 quarts = 1/40 quarts/second

combining these two conversions we can do

1/10 gallon/second * 60 second / 1 minute * 1 gallon / 4 quarts = 3/2

Final answer:

1/10 gallons/second = 6 gallons/minute = 1/40 quarts/second = 3/2 quarts/minute

Hope I helped
