Question

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 10 cubic meters per day. Express this rate of flow in milliliters per minute. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

6,944 ml/minute

Explanation:

According to the scenario, calculation of given data are as follows,

Flow rate per day = 10 cubic meters

here, 1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 millilitre

so, 10 cubic meter = 10,000,000 millilitre

Minutes in a day = (60 × 24) minutes = 1,440 minutes

So, flow rate for 1,440 minutes = 10,000,000 milliliters

Flow rate for 1 minute = 10,000,000 milliliters ÷ 1,440 minutes

Flow rate per minute = 6,944.44 milliliters / minute or 6,944ml/minute
