An oil tanker empties at 3.5 gallons per minute. Convert this rate to cups per second. Round to the nearest tenth.
Answer (2)
If given ratio is 3.5 gallons per minute and we want to cups per second we can do this knowing that 1 gallon= 16cups 1min = 60sec ratio=3.5 min u t e g a ll o n = 3.5 ∗ 60 seco n d s 16 c u p s = 3.5 ∗ 0.266 = 0.933 sec c u p s Its the result
To convert 3.5 gallons per minute to cups per second, you can multiply by the conversion factors of 16 cups per gallon and divide by 60 seconds per minute. This results in approximately 0.9 cups per second when rounded to the nearest tenth. Thus, the answer is 0.9 cups/second.
