Question

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18 liters per min.

What is Uche's pumping rate in mililiters per sec?

Answer 1

To answer this question, multiply the given rate, 18 liters/min, by the two appropriate conversion factors:

18 liters 60 sec 1000 ml

-------------- * ------------- * ---------------- = 1,080,000 ml/sec

1 second 1 min 1 liter

Answer 2

300 milliliters per second.

Explanation:

We have been given that Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18 liters per min. We are asked to convert Uche's rate in mililiters per sec.

We know that 1 liter equals 1000 ml.

`\text{Uche's pumping rate}=\frac{18\text{ liters}}{\text{ min}}* \frac{1000\text{ ml}}{\text{ liter}}`

`\text{Uche's pumping rate}=\frac{18000\text{ ml}}{\text{ min}}`

We also know that 1 minute equals 60 seconds.

`\text{Uche's pumping rate}=\frac{18000\text{ ml}}{\text{ min}}* \frac{1 min}}{60\text{ sec}}`

`\text{Uche's pumping rate}=\frac{300\text{ ml}}{\text{ sec}}`

Therefore, Uche's pumping rate is 300 milliliters per second.
