Homework help Please? How do I answer that?

Question

The Cromwell Current moves 40 million cubic meters of water each second. The Gulf Stream moves 100 million cubic meters of water each second. How does the flow in the Gulf Stream compare to the flow of the Cromwell Current?

Answer 1

The unit "cubic meters per second" is a measure of flow.

100/40 = 2.5

Thus you can say, "The Gulf Stream current is two and one-half times faster than the Cromwell current."

Hope this helps!
