Question

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 8 pints per hour. Express this rate of flow in cups per week.

Answer 1

2,688 cups per week

Explanation:

Lets begin by figuring out the pints per week/pints per day. Multiplying 8 times 24, we get our daily total of 192 pints per day. Multiply this by 7 and we get a total of 1344 pints per week. We now must convert these pints into cups, which can be done by multiplying the total amount of pints by 2. 1344 times 2 = 2,688 cups
