Data:
• 4 1/2 quarts in 3/4 hours
,• 2 gallons (8 quarts) in x hours.
Procedure:
0. Homogenizing data to improper fractions.
[tex]4\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}[/tex]2. Displaying the data as ratios:
[tex]\frac{\frac{9}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{8}{x}[/tex]3. Solving for x:
[tex]x=\frac{8\cdot\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{9}{2}}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]Answer: 4/3
