A 5,443.2
B 1.5
C 90.72
D 0.4
To convert gallons per hour to liters per minute, we need to use the conversion factors:
1 gallon = 3.78 liters
1 hour = 60 minutes
First, let's convert gallons to liters by multiplying the given value (24 gallons/hour) by the conversion factor:
24 gallons/hour * 3.78 liters/gallon = 90.72 liters/hour
Next, let's convert hours to minutes by multiplying the liters per hour by the conversion factor:
90.72 liters/hour * (1 hour/60 minutes) = 1.512 liters/minute
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
1.512 ≈ 1.5 liters/minute
So the answer is B) 1.5
