The fountain in the pond behind Kevins school has a pump that recirculates 60 gallons of water every 1/5 of an hour.Express this rate as a unit rate in gallons per hour?
The necessary information's are already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily determined. Amount of water recirculated by the pump in 1/5 of an hour = 60 gallons we already know 1/5 of an hour = (1/5) * 60 minutes = 12 minutes Then Amount of water recirculated by the pump in 60 minutes = (60/12) * 60 gallons = 5 * 60 gallons = 300 gallons So the amount of water recirculated by the pump per hour is 300 gallons.
