Question

Tiffany is filling her daughter's pool with water from a house. she can fill the pool at a rate of 1/10 gallons/second. create at least 3 equivalent ratios that are associated with the rate. use a double number line to show your work

Answer 1

For this, you could change both the 'gallons' and the 'seconds' to get different unit with the same ratio.

1/10 gallon/second * 60 seconds / 1 minute = 6 gallons/minute

1/10 gallon/second * 1 gallon / 4 quarts = 1/40 quarts/second

combining these two conversions we can do

1/10 gallon/second * 60 second / 1 minute * 1 gallon / 4 quarts = 3/2

Final answer:

1/10 gallons/second = 6 gallons/minute = 1/40 quarts/second = 3/2 quarts/minute
