Answer 2

Answer: The rate is 4,548 liters per hour.

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

• rate: 20g per minute

So, to calculate the rate in liters per hour we have to convert the gallons per minute in liters per minute.

• if 1 gallon = 3.79 liters

• 20 gallons ⇒20 x 3.79 = 75.8 liters per minute

Now that we have the rate expressed in liters per minute, we have to multiply it by 60 minutes(1 hour).

• 75.8 x 60 = 4548 liters per hour

In conclusion, the rate in liters per hour is 4548 liters per hour.
