The solution to this problem is to convert 1/3 tons/minute to the number of tons/day.
This is done by multiplying 1/3 tons/minute by 60 minutes/hour and by 24 hours/day.
Looking the units of measure, we see that the minutes will cancel and the hours will cancel; and we will be left with tons/day. To determine how many, multiply (1/3) x 60 x 24. I will leave the calculation to you, but you should get 480.
$18. You get this because you subtract 7 from 16 since that’s money he got. You get 9. Since Jack spent half his allowance money, you double the money he had left after spending it, giving you $18.
