Question

During a heavy storm rain falls for 4.1 hours through the night. A weather station monitors the rain by measuring the milliliter of water it takes to fill a container . How many milliliters of rain will fill the container of the rain falls at a rate of 4 quarts per 25 minutes?

Answer 1

• 37240.3 ml

Explanation:

• 1 quart = 946 ml

4 quarts per 25 minutes to be converted into ml per hour

• 4 quarts per 25/60 hr = ⇒ quarts to ml, minutes to hour
• 4*946 ml per 0.4166 hr =
• 3784 ml per 0.4166 hr =
• 3784/0.4166 ml per 1 hr = ⇒ volume per hour
• 9083 ml/hr

For the time of 4.1 hr the volume of rain water is:

• 9083*4.1 ml = 37240.3 ml
