How do you convert the rate 1000 fluid ounces per 2 hours to cups per min?

Answer 1

Emery Allen

#1 1/24# cups per minute

As #1# cup is equal to #8# fluid ounces

#1000# fluid ounces per #2# hours mean

#1000/8=125# cups per #2# hours or

#125/2# cups per hour or in #60# minutes

i.e. #125/(2xx60)# cups per minute

or #125/(2xx60)=(25cancel125)/(2xx12cancel60)=25/24# or #1 1/24# cups per minute.

To convert 1000 fluid ounces per 2 hours to cups per minute:

Convert fluid ounces to cups: There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. (1000 , \text{fluid ounces} \times \frac{1 , \text{cup}}{8 , \text{fluid ounces}} = 125 , \text{cups}).
Convert hours to minutes: There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. (2 , \text{hours} \times 60 , \frac{\text{minutes}}{\text{hour}} = 120 , \text{minutes}).
Calculate the rate in cups per minute: (\frac{125 , \text{cups}}{120 , \text{minutes}} = \frac{125}{120} , \text{cups per minute}).
Simplify the fraction if necessary.

So, the rate of (1000) fluid ounces per (2) hours is equivalent to (\frac{125}{120}) cups per minute.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
