Aswimming pool is being filled ata rate of 15 pints per minute. how many gallons per hour is this?

we have to convert the rate from pints per minute to gallons per hour

1 pint = 0.125 gallon

1 minute - 1/60 hours

we can write 15 pints per minute as

15 pints / 1 minute

to convert pints to gallons we have to multiply by 0.125 gallon/pint

to convert minutes to hours we have to multiply by 1/60 hours/minute

=

rate is 112.5 gallons/hour

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.

answer: i believe its b. if you sound out the sentences that sounds wrong.
