Question

In two days, 48,000 gallons of oil gushed out of a well. At what rate did the oil flow from the well?

Answer 1

48 000 gallons / 2 days = 24 000 gallons per day
24 000 gallons / 24 hours = 1 000 gallons per hour
1 000 gallons / 60 minutes = 16.(6) gallons per minute

1,000 gallons per hour
