Question

A garden hose sprays 24 gallons of water in 1 minute. The ratio of pints to gallons is 8 to 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

24 * 8 (number of pints in a gallon)

Answer 2

192 pints a minute.

So we know the hose sprays 24 gallons of water a minute. We also know that 8 pints equal a gallon. So to figure out how many pints are in one minute, we multiply 8 x 24, since we have 24 gallons a minute and 8 pints equal a gallon.
This equals 192 pints a minute.
