Can anyone help-
It's easy. i jsut don't understand the process, even though I understood how it works.

Ig. Transform the gallons into litre, then figure out how much litre the cars consume per second

#

by dividing the litres by the amount of seconds an hour has

#

If you figured out the consumption of the two cars per second seperatly, you can subtract them and you will get your difference

#

What exactly did you not understand about the process? @safe skiff

#

Okay. So

#

What I did was

#

I converted 6 gallons and 8 gallons into litres respectively so that was

#

22.7124 and 30.2832 respectively

#

But the thing is

#

According to Gauthmath, I'm supposed to divide both of these by "1 hour"

#

Which I don't get

#

And basically, the point of this division is to figure out how long it takes to fill a litre

#

And then to multiply this value by 3600 (seconds in an hour)

#

And you have to subtract them att hsi point, and you'd get the answer

#

safe skiff And then to multiply this value by 3600 (seconds in an hour)

Wait multiply?

#

But I got confused at the part around dividing them by 1 hour

safe skiff Aug 27, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

solid oxide Wait multiply?

Yeah

solid oxide Aug 27, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

That’s weird

safe skiff Aug 27, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

I know

solid oxide Aug 27, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

Since the consumption per second should be less then the one per hour

#

Hmm

#

And if you divide them the answer is wrong?

#

I mean you could divide them by one hour and the subtract them

#

Then it would be the difference for an hour

#

And then divide by 3600

#

I mean, i didn't do that bit. The guy on gauthmath said his answer was 39.6 seconds

#

Hodl on. Do you think you could try it out and see if you get the same answer? Cause I don't understand his method-

#

If that's not a problem!

#

Im a lil low on time right now

#

Do you have a solution?

safe skiff Aug 27, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Uhh

#

Sorta?

#

Halfway done

solid oxide Aug 27, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

I mean from that website?

safe skiff Aug 27, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Nope

solid oxide Aug 27, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Oh okey

safe skiff Aug 27, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

it was just written down

#

Ill try to find something

#

And maybe use your method!

#

Thanks!!

solid oxide Aug 27, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Okey, I’ll be back in abt an hour

#

If something comes up I can try it later

#

But good luck for now 🙂

THANK YOU SMM!!

#

Well we can convert 6 gallons per hour to hours per gallon by taking the reciprocal

#

In this case that's 1/6 hours per gallon
