A hose is releasing water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. How many quarts are released after 0.14 hours?

67.2 quarts after 0.14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we simply need to know that 1 gallon contains 4 quarts, and that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.  Given that our hose is releasing water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute, we can say the following:

2 gallons / minute = 2 gallons / minute * 4 quarts / gallon = 8 quarts / minute

So now we know our hose is releasing water at a rate of 8 quarts per minute.  Furthermore, we need to find out how many minutes 0.14 hours is.  We can do this simply by the following:

14 / 100 == x / 60

x = 60 (14/100)

x = 8.4 minutes

So to calculate the amount of quarts released after 8.4 minutes we simply perform the multiplication:

8.4 minutes * 8 quarts / minute == 67.2 quarts

Hence, our solution is 67.2 quarts are released after 0.14 hours.
