What is this asking?
We need to convert gallons per minute to quarts per minute, and kilometers per hour to meters per hour.
Watch out!
Remember those conversion factors!
There are in and in .
Don't mix them up!
STEP 2
1. Convert gallons per minute to quarts per minute.
2. Convert kilometers per hour to meters per hour.
STEP 3
We're given and we want to convert it to .
Since there are in every , we'll need to *multiply*!
STEP 4
**Multiply** the given value by the conversion factor.
We're doing this to change the units from gallons to quarts.
Since there are more quarts than gallons, we expect a larger number of quarts.
STEP 5
Notice how the units of appear in both the numerator and denominator.
This means we can divide to one, leaving us with our desired units of .
STEP 6
**Calculate the result**: So, is equal to !
STEP 7
We have and we want to convert it to .
Knowing that there are in every , we'll *multiply* again!
STEP 8
**Multiply** by the conversion factor to change the units from kilometers to meters.
Since there are more meters than kilometers, we anticipate a larger number of meters.
STEP 9
The units of appear in both the numerator and denominator, so we can divide to one, leaving us with our desired units of .
STEP 10
**Calculate the result**: Therefore, is the same as !
