Answer:

First, you would have to convert fl oz to gallons: 1 fl oz = 0.0078125 gal. Therefore, 4 fl oz = 0.03125 gal.

Then, you would have to convert minutes to hours: 1 minute = 0.01666 hours, or 60 minutes = 1 hour.

From here, you can divide 0.03125 gal by 0.01666 hours OR multiply 0.03125 gal by 60 minutes, giving a rate of 1.87 gallons per hour.

Jackie ordered a set of wood and metal clothes pins. Of the 276 pins, 172 were wood. What percentage of the clothes pins were me
timurjin [86]

We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:

276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.

To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:

104/276 is about 0.3768.

Multiply this by 100:

37.68

So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.
