Math HW HELP!!!!!!

For a science experiment Marcia dissolved 1.0 Kilogram of sal in 3.0 liters of water. For a different experiment, Bobby dissolved 2.0 pounds of salt in 7.0 pints of water. Which person made a more concentrated salt solution? Explain? Use 1 L = 2.11 pints. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 

the first on is 1kg/3L  =  0.33333 kg/L

 

You need to change 2 pounds to Kg      

you can use this site for that

then 7 pints to litres     7/2.11 = 3.3175... L

then do the division and compare the answers.

 

(*You could have done it the other way round if you had wanted to.  You just have to make the units the same.  )

Tortoise A walks 52.0 feet per hour and Tortoise B walks 12 inches per minute. Which Tortoise travels faster? Explain. 

 

$$\frac{12 inces}{1 min} \\\\ = \frac{12*60inches}{60minutes}\\\\ = \frac{12*60inches}{60minutes}\\\\ = \frac{12*60inches}{1 hour}\\\\ = \frac{(12*60)/12 feet}{1 hour}\\\\ = \frac{60 feet}{1 hour}\\\\$$

 

so that is faster than 52 feet per hour.  :)
