Answer:


5.4*10^7 gallons

Explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in a second therefore there are...

60*60=3600 seconds in an hour

We are given that 1.5 × 10⁴ gallons flow every second. We can use this information to set up an unit converter.


3600 \ seconds((1.5*10^4\ gallons)/(1\ second))=3600*1.5*10^4=5400*10^4

Note that we need the answer in scientific notation. We need to multiply a number that is between 1 and 10 by
10^n...


5.4*10^7\ gallons
