28. A damaged tugboat is leaking 0.75 gallons of fuel per minute. At this rate, how many quarts will the tugboat lose per hour Unit of Conversion = > 1 gallon = 4 quarts = > 60 minutes = 1 hour Let us first solve the unit rate of the gallons per minute = > 0.75 gallons of fuel leaks per minute Thus the unit rate is = > 0.75 gallons/Minute Now, let’s solve the unit rate for quarts / hour = > 0.75 gallons = 3 quarts = > 3 quarts * 60 minutes = 180 quarts / hour The unit rate is 180 quarts / hr
