Final answer:
The correct answer is option B) m³/min. The balloon is being inflated at a rate of 0.048 m³/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option B) m³/min. To determine the volume rate at which the balloon is being inflated, we need to convert the given rate from cm³/s to m³/min.
Since 1 m³ = 1000000 cm³ and 1 min = 60 s, we can convert the rate as follows:
800 cm³/s * (1 m³ / 1000000 cm³) * (60 s / 1 min) = 0.048 m³/min.
