Use the given conversion factors to complete the calculation.

Answer :

Sure! Let's go through the steps for converting 3.6 gallons per minute to milliliters per second.

### Step 1: Convert gallons to liters
1 gallon is approximately 3.79 liters. So, we multiply the number of gallons by this conversion factor.
[tex]\[
3.6 \, \text{gallons/minute} \times 3.79 \, \text{liters/gallon} = 13.644 \, \text{liters/minute}
\][/tex]

### Step 2: Convert liters to milliliters
1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Multiply the number of liters by this conversion factor.
[tex]\[
13.644 \, \text{liters/minute} \times 1,000 \, \text{milliliters/liter} = 13,644 \, \text{milliliters/minute}
\][/tex]

### Step 3: Convert minutes to seconds
There are 60 seconds in a minute. To find the rate per second, divide the milliliters per minute by 60.
[tex]\[
13,644 \, \text{milliliters/minute} \div 60 \, \text{seconds/minute} = 227.4 \, \text{milliliters/second}
\][/tex]

So, 3.6 gallons per minute is equivalent to 227.4 milliliters per second.
