There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, so a rate of 120 gallons per minute converts to 4 x 120 = 480 quarts per minute. To find the per hour rate, we simply multiply our per minute rate by 60, obtaining 480 x 60 = 28800 quarts per hour.
Expressed in scientific notation the answer would be 3.05 X 10^6
To find the rate of pay, first divide 82.50/7.5 to equal $11/hour.
Your rate of pay is $11 per hour.
Hope this helps!!
$27 x 18 students = 486 actual cost.
$30 x 10 students = 300 estimated total cost using compatible numbers.
$20 x 20 students = 400 estimated total cost using compatible numbers. (better option because it is nearer to the actual cost)
Compatible numbers are numbers that can easily be multiplied or divided using mental computation.
Compatible number for 27 and 18 can be: 30 and 20 OR 20 and 20 OR 30 and 10 OR 20 and 10.
However, there is a rule in multiplying the compatible numbers, when one number is increased the other number must be decreased.
So 27 can be increased to 30; while 18 can be decreased to 10 to get a product of 300.
27 can be decreased to 20; while 18 can be increased to 20 to get a product of 400.
