Given that, something fills at a rate of 5 ounces every 100 seconds. We need to find the number of gallons filled in 1 hour. We know that 1 hour = 3600 seconds. For every 100 seconds it fills 5 ounces. For 3600 seconds it fills 3600 (5/100) ounces = 3600/20 = 360/2 ounces = 180 ounces. We need to find the number of gallons filled in 1 hour. 1 US fluid ounce = 0.0078125 US gallons 180 ounces = 180 * 0.0078125 US gallons = 1.40625 1.40625 gallons will be filled in 1 hour.
