Question

Alonzo fills buckets at a rate of 6 gallons per minute. What is the rate of pints per hour

Answer 1

First, you have to figure out how many gallons Alonzo fills an hour. That's 6 times 60. 6*60=360. Then you figure out how many pints are in a gallon. That's 8 pints to a gallon. So 360 *8=2880. Alonzo fills 2,880 pints per hour!

Answer 2

45 pints per hour

Explanation:

Alonzo fills buckets at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.

so if 6 gallons = 1 minutes

how many gallons are equal to 1 hour which is made up of 60 minutes

60 minutes * 6 gallons = 360 gallons.

a pint is a unit of liquid or dry capacity equal to 1/8 of a gallon

so 1/8 * 360 gallons = 45 pints

answer is 45 pints per hour
