The hose fills the tank at a rate of 4548 litres/ hour.

Explanation:

GIVEN:

The rate at which the hose fills the tank = 20 gallons per minute.

One gallon is 3.79 litres.

To Find:

The rate in litres per hour=?

Solution:

The total number of litres = rate at which the hose fills tanks * quantity of one gallon

The total number of litres = 20 x 3.79.

The total number of litres = 20 x 3.79.

The total number of litres = 75.8

Per minute is 1/60 hours.

= 75.8/ 1/60

= 75.8*60 litres/hr.

= 4548 litres/ hour.
