The rate of water flow is 576 cups per day.

To convert the flow rate from quarts per hour to cups per day, we will follow these steps using the given conversion factors.

1. Convert quarts to cups:

Given that there are 6 quarts per hour:

6 quarts/hour×2 pints/quart=12 pints/hour

And since there are 2 cups in a pint:

12 pints/hour×2 cups/pint=24 cups/hour

3. Convert hours to days:

Given that there are 24 hours in a day:

24 cups/hour×24 hours/day=576 cups/day

So, the flow rate in cups per day is:

576 cups/day
