Question

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 16 / min. What is Uche’s pumping rate in / s?

Answer 1

266.66mL/s

Explanation:

You have:

`(16)/(1) (liters)/(minute)`

You can use the conversion factors to convert liters to milliliters, and minutes to seconds:

1L = 1000mL

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore:

`(16)/(1) (liters)/(minute) * (1000)/(1) (mililiters)/(liter) * (1)/(60) (minute)/(seconds)`

Liters cancel and minutes cancel. The units of mL per second is all that remains:

`(16 * 1000)/(60) (mililiters)/(second) = 266.66 (ml)/(s)`
