Answer:

The rate of flow is approximately 34.72 milliliters per minute.

Explanation:

To express the rate of flow in milliliters per minute, you need to convert both the liters and the time units.

1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters, and 1 month is approximately 30 days (on average). To convert from months to minutes, we need to take into account how many minutes there are in a day.

First, let's convert months to days: 1 month is approximately 30 days.

Now, convert days to minutes: 1 day has 24 hours, and 1 hour has 60 minutes. So, 1 day has 24 * 60 = 1,440 minutes.

Now, calculate the rate of flow in milliliters per minute:

Rate of flow = (2700 liters/month) * (1000 ml/liter) / (30 days/month) / (1440 minutes/day)

Rate of flow ≈ (2700 * 1000) / (30 * 1440)

Rate of flow ≈ 1,500,000 ml / 43,200

Rate of flow ≈ 34.72 milliliters per minute

So, the rate of flow is approximately 34.72 milliliters per minute
