Answer 1

First, you need to know how many gallons will be in the tank after 1 hour. So:

Answer 2

`(4548)/(1)` liters per hour.

Explanation:

Given : A hose fills a tank at a rate of 20 gallons per minute.

To find : What is the rate in liters per hour?

Solution : We have given

A tank can fill hose in 1 minute = 20 gallon .

1 gallon = 3.79 liters.

20 gallon = 20 * 3.79 = 75.8 liters.

20 gallon = 75 .8 liters.

So,

A tank can fill hose in 1 minute = 75.8 liters.

A tank can fill hose in 60 minute = 75.8 * 60 liters = 4548 liters.

A tank can fill hose in 1 hour = 4548 liters.

Rate =
`(4548)/(1)` liters per hour.

Therefore,
`(4548)/(1)` liters per hour.
