Question

A running tap dispenses 0.16 gallons of water every second. how many pints of water is dispensed after 25 seconds?

Answer 1

1/8 = 0.16/x...1 gal to 8 pts = 0.16 gal to x pints
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (8)(0.16)
x = 1.28 pints per second

1.28 * 25 = 32 pints are dispensed in 25 seconds

Answer 2

You need to multiply 0.16 by 25 Which equals 4 Then you need to know how many pints go in a gallon 8 pints are in a gallon so, You need to multiply 4 by 8 which is 32
