STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to convert gallons per minute to quarts per minute, and kilometers per hour to meters per hour. Watch out! Remember those conversion factors!
There are 4 qt\text{4 qt} in 1 gal\text{1 gal} and 1000 m\text{1000 m} in 1 km\text{1 km}.
Don't mix them up!

STEP 2

1. Convert gallons per minute to quarts per minute.
2. Convert kilometers per hour to meters per hour.

STEP 3

We're given 6 gal/min\text{6 gal/min} and we want to convert it to qt/min\text{qt/min}.
Since there are 4 qt\text{4 qt} in every 1 gal\text{1 gal}, we'll need to *multiply*!

STEP 4

**Multiply** the given value by the conversion factor.
We're doing this to change the units from gallons to quarts.
Since there are more quarts than gallons, we expect a larger number of quarts. 6 galmin4 qt1 gal6 \ \frac{\text{gal}}{\text{min}} \cdot \frac{4 \ \text{qt}}{1 \ \text{gal}}

STEP 5

Notice how the units of gal\text{gal} appear in both the numerator and denominator.
This means we can divide to one, leaving us with our desired units of qt/min\text{qt/min}. 64 qt1 min6 \cdot \frac{4 \ \text{qt}}{1 \ \text{min}}

STEP 6

**Calculate the result**: 24 qtmin24 \ \frac{\text{qt}}{\text{min}} So, 6 gal/min\text{6 gal/min} is equal to 24 qt/min\text{24 qt/min}!

STEP 7

We have 5.3 km/h\text{5.3 km/h} and we want to convert it to m/h\text{m/h}.
Knowing that there are 1000 m\text{1000 m} in every 1 km\text{1 km}, we'll *multiply* again!

STEP 8

**Multiply** by the conversion factor to change the units from kilometers to meters.
Since there are more meters than kilometers, we anticipate a larger number of meters. 5.3 kmh1000 m1 km5.3 \ \frac{\text{km}}{\text{h}} \cdot \frac{1000 \ \text{m}}{1 \ \text{km}}

STEP 9

The units of km\text{km} appear in both the numerator and denominator, so we can divide to one, leaving us with our desired units of m/h\text{m/h}. 5.31000 m1 h5.3 \cdot \frac{1000 \ \text{m}}{1 \ \text{h}}

STEP 10

**Calculate the result**: 5300 mh5300 \ \frac{\text{m}}{\text{h}} Therefore, 5.3 km/h\text{5.3 km/h} is the same as 5300 m/h\text{5300 m/h}!

STEP 11

6 gal/min=24 qt/min6 \ \text{gal/min} = 24 \ \text{qt/min} 5.3 km/h=5300 m/h5.3 \ \text{km/h} = 5300 \ \text{m/h}
