Final answer:

The volume flow rate of a hose filling a 5-liter container in 45 seconds is 0.000111 m³/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the volume flow rate in m³/s when using a hose to fill a 5-liter container in 45 seconds, we can use the formula for flow rate, which is volume/time. First, we convert the volume from liters to cubic meters (since 1 liter equals 0.001 cubic meters). So, 5 liters is equal to 0.005 m³. Then we divide the volume by the time taken to get the flow rate in m³/s.

Volume flow rate = Volume (in m³) / Time (in seconds)

Volume flow rate = 0.005 m³ / 45 s

Volume flow rate = 0.000111 m³/s
