Question

If a school uses 1200 gallons/day. How many liters/sec is this?

Answer 1

0.05257 L/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

The school uses 1200 gallons/day

Step 2: Convert "gal/day" to "L/day"

We will use the conversion factor 1 gal = 3.785 L.

1200 gal/day × (3.785L/gal) = 4542 L/day

Step 3: Convert "L/day" to "L/s"

We will use the following conversion factors:

• 1 day = 24 h
• 1 h = 3600 s

4542 L/day × (1 day/24 h) × (1 h/3600 s) = 0.05257 L/s
