Practice makes perfect

Let's find the product by moving the right term to the numerator and canceling common factors.

(7liters/30minutes ) 10minutes

a/c* b = a* b/c

7liters* 10minutes/30minutes

Split into factors

7liters* 10minutes/10* 3minutes

Cancel out common factors

7liters* 10minutes/10* 3minutes

Simplify quotient

7liters/3

a* b/c=a/c* b

7/3liters

Write as a sum of fractions

(6/3+1/3)liters

Calculate quotient

(2+1/3)liters

Add terms
