Answer:

2000 milliliters each minute.

Explanation:

We have been given that Carter has a toy ire truck that sprays like the real thing! Carter's fire truck stores 6 liters of water inside its tank. All of the water in the tank is drained out in 3 minutes. We are asked to find the number of millimeters drained per minute.

First of all, we will convert 6 liters to milliliters.

1 liter = 1000 ml.

6 liters = 6*1000 ml = 6000 ml.

Now we will divide total milliliters by total time as:


\text{Milliliters of water drained per minute}=(6000)/(3)


\text{Milliliters of water drained per minute}=2000

Therefore, Carter's fire truck drain 2000 milliliters of water each minute.
