Answer:
1.6 qt/s
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the fill rate of 24 gal/min converted to quarts per second.
Units conversion
To convert units, multiply by a factor that has units you want and cancels units you don't want. The numerator value and the denominator value of the conversion factor should be equal:
4 qt = 1 gal
1 min = 60 s
Your conversion is ...
[tex]\dfrac{24\text{ gal}}{\text{min}}=\dfrac{24\text{ gal}}{\text{min}}\times\dfrac{4\text{ qt}}{1\text{ gal}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ min}}{60\text{ s}}=\dfrac{24\cdot4}{60}\,\dfrac{\text{qt}}{\text{s}}=\boxed{1.6\text{ qt/s}}[/tex]
