Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:you need to substitute values on the next form of resolving this problem as  follows... A hose fills up a hot tub at a rate of 3.2 gallons per minute. How many hours will it take to fill a 300 gallon hot tub? please explain the method of unit conversions as thoroughly as possible.  Solution:  The rate of fill up is, Rate = 3.2 Gallons / minute = 3.2 g/min The hut tub volume is 300 Gallons  You can set up this problem as follows:  Every 3.2 gallons require 1 minute, How many minutes 300 gallons require?  3.2  g    1min 300 g     ? min    = (300 gallons x 1min/ 3.2 gallons)=(300/32)min  = 93.75 min  or simply the number minutes is the time required (T) the rate is (R) and the volume is (V) such that T=V/R= (300g/3.2 g/min)= 93.75 min
