Question

A cistern is leaking 0.25 liters of water per minute. Approximately how many gallons of water is the cistern losing per hour?

Answer 1

Hello,

$0.25 \dfrac{l}{min} = \dfrac{0.25\ l}{ \dfrac{1\ min}{60}} =15\ \dfrac{l}{h} \\ = \dfrac{15\ \dfrac{l}{h} }{3.78541\ \frac{l} {US\ gallon} })\\ = 3,96258265... \dfrac{US\ gallon}{h}$
