To convert the rate from fluid ounces to cups per minute, we need to apply conversion factors. Follow these steps to get the answer:
Step 1: Convert fluid ounces to cups.
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces.
To convert 1000 fluid ounces to cups, divide by the conversion factor:
1000 fluid ounces / 8 fluid ounces = 125 cups
Step 2: Convert hours to minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
To convert 2 hours to minutes, multiply by the conversion factor:
2 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 120 minutes
Step 3: Calculate cups per minute.
To find the rate in cups per minute, divide the total cups by the total minutes:
125 cups / 120 minutes ≈ 1.04 cups per minute.
So, the rate of 1000 fluid ounces per 2 hours is approximately 1.04 cups per minute.
