Answer: " \frac{1}{4} gal /hr ; or, write as: " 0.25 gal/hr. " .
_______________
Step-by-step explanation:
_______________
This is a "unit rate" problem;
that is: we want to solve for a particular quantity per [single] unit.
_______________
→ in this case, per single "hour" ;
_______________
So we convert:
_______________
" 2 gal per 8 hours" ; to the correct number of:
_?_ gal per [single] hr.
_______________
{Note: "gal" refers to: "gallon(s)" ;
"hr" refers to: "hour(s)" .}.
_______________
→ " [tex]\frac{2 gal}{ 8 hr} = [\frac{2}{8}][/tex] gal / hr. " ;
_______________
→ " { [tex]\frac{2}{8} =[/tex] [2÷2] / [8÷2] = 1/4 ;
_______________
So, the answer is:
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{4} gal /hr[/tex] " ;
_______________
or: write as decimal:
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = (1 ÷ 4) = 0.25 " ;
_______________
write the answer as:
_______________
→ " 0.25 gal/hr. "
_______________
Or, when we had:
→ "2/8" gal/hr ;
_______________
Use calculator:
→ " [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex] = "2 ÷ 8" ;
= " 0.25 gal/ hr.
_______________
So: The correct answer is:
_______________
" \frac{1}{4} gal /hr ; or, write as: " 0.25 gal/hr. " ;
