Exercise 9 Page 156

Use the conversion factor that 1 week is equal to 168 hours.

1680

Let's start by writing the given statement. 10gal/h&=gal/wkConverting between hours (h) and weeks (wk) will involve using a conversion factor. 168h/1wk Multiplying 10gal/h by this conversion factor will convert it to gallons per week.

10gal/h * 168h/1wk
10 gal* 168 h/h* 1wk
10 gal* 168 h/h* 1wk
10gal* 168/1wk
1680gal/1wk

This means that 10gal/h is the same as 1680gal/wk.
