The correct answer is the 2.4
The constant in an equation is the number(s) that don't have variables.
This is because variables can change the number they are attached to, making them not constant.
Hope this helps!
There are 8 ounces in a cup, so there are 125 cups in 1000 ounces.
1000 / 8 = 125
there are 60 minutes in an hour and 120 minutes in 2 hours
so 1000 ounces / 2 hours is
125 cups / 120 minutes
125 / 120 = 1.04 cups per minute
Check your work
multiply times 60 to get cups per hour
1.04 * 60 = 62.4 cups per hour
multiply times 8 to get ounces per hour
62.4 * 8 = 499.2
multiply times 2 to get ounces per 2 hours
499.2 * 2 = 998.4
the number is not quite 1000 due to rounding the 125 / 120 as it is closer to 1.041666666666667
Answer:
Because it is a mixed fraction and it should be renamed in order to solve your problem, for the other one CAN NOT be converted into a mixed fraction.
