2.5 qt/min. = _gal/min
1 gallon = 4 quarts
i know that! but i don't know how to work it out!!
You can set up a proportion:
2.5 / 5 = x / 1
Solve for x. You'll get less than 1 gallon.
oh!!! i get it now, thank you!!
multiply by the conversion so that the units you do not want cancel
2.5 qt * (1 gal/4 qt) leaves ? gal
You had a qt on the top and a qt on the bottom so the qt units canceled and you are left with gallons
Oops -- it should be 2.5/4 = x/1
Thanks Damon for correcting this.
To convert 2.5 quarts per minute (qt/min) to gallons per minute (gal/min), we need to know the conversion factor between quarts and gallons.
Since 1 quart is equal to 0.25 gallons, the conversion factor is 0.25.
To convert 2.5 qt/min to gal/min, we can use the following formula:
gal/min = qt/min × conversion factor
Substituting the values:
gal/min = 2.5 qt/min × 0.25
Calculating the result:
gal/min = 0.625
Therefore, 2.5 qt/min is equal to 0.625 gal/min.
