Question

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 210ml per second (ml/s) convert this to litres per hour (l/hr)

Answer 1

To convert the flow rate from 210 ml/s to liters per hour, you multiply by the conversion factor from milliliters to liters and then multiply by the number of seconds in an hour. The result is 756 liters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to convert the flow rate of water from milliliters per second (ml/s) to liters per hour (l/hr). To accomplish this, we will use unit conversion techniques. One liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, and there are 3,600 seconds in an hour.

The given flow rate is 210 ml/s. To convert this to liters, divide by 1,000:

• 210 ml/s × (1 L / 1,000 ml) = 0.21 L/s

Next, we convert seconds to hours:

• 0.21 L/s × (3,600 s / 1 hr) = 756 liters per hour (l/hr)

Therefore, a flow rate of 210 ml/s is equivalent to 756 l/hr when converted.
