Question

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 91 fluid ounces every 2.5 weeks. Express this rate of flow in cups per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Rate = 0.2167\ fl\ oz/hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Rate = \frac{91\ fl\ oz}{2.5\ weeks}$

Required

Express the rate as per hour

$Rate = \frac{91\ fl\ oz}{2.5\ weeks}$

There are 168 hours in  a week;

So, the rate becomes

$Rate = \frac{91\ fl\ oz}{2.5 * 168\ hours}$

$Rate = \frac{91\ fl\ oz}{420\ hours}$

$Rate = 0.2167\ fl\ oz/hour$

Hence;

The equivalent of the given rate is $0.2167\ fl\ oz/hour$
