Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
liquid is being poured at a rate of 15 gallons per minute. How fast is it being poured in liters per hour? Use the fact that one gallon is approximately 3.785 liters, and do not round your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

3,406.5 litres/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The liquid is being poured at a rate of 15 gallons per minute.

1 minute = 1/60 hour

Thus, the rate can be written as:

15 gallons pet 1/60 hour

We are told that one gallon is approximately 3.785 liters.

Thus;

15 gallons = 15 × 3.785 litres = 56.775 litres.

Thus, the rate is;

56.775 litres per 1/60 hour

We want to find in litres/hr.

By proportion, we have it as;

(56.775 ÷ 1/60)/1 = 56.775 × 60 = 3,406.5 litres/hr
