Question

A pipe leaks water at a rate of 1.24 mL/s. What is the rate of the water leak in L/hr?

Answer 1

Answer:

b)4.46 L/hr

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to convert the mL to liters (Using the conversion of 1000mL = 1L) and convert the time from seconds to hours (3600s = 1hr)

mL to L:

1.24mL/s * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.00124L/s

seconds to hours:

0.00124L/s * (3600s / 1hr) = 4.46L/hr

Right answer is:

b)4.46 L/hr
