Answer :
Sure! Let's walk through the steps of converting 3.6 gallons per minute to milliliters per second.
1. Convert gallons to liters:
- We start with 3.6 gallons per minute.
- Since 1 gallon is equivalent to 3.79 liters, we multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor:
[tex]\[
3.6 \, \text{gallons} \times 3.79 \, \text{liters/gallon} = 13.644 \, \text{liters per minute}
\][/tex]
2. Convert liters to milliliters:
- Knowing that 1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters, convert the volume from liters to milliliters:
[tex]\[
13.644 \, \text{liters per minute} \times 1,000 \, \text{milliliters/liter} = 13,644 \, \text{milliliters per minute}
\][/tex]
3. Convert minutes to seconds:
- Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, convert the flow rate to milliliters per second by dividing by 60:
[tex]\[
\frac{13,644 \, \text{milliliters per minute}}{60 \, \text{seconds/minute}} = 227.4 \, \text{milliliters per second}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the conversion results in a flow rate of 227.4 milliliters per second.
