A liquid is being poured at a rate of 15 gallons per minute. How fast is it being poured in liters per hour? Use the fact that one gallon is approximately 3.785 liters, and do not round your answer.(1 point)
liter(s) per hour
To find the rate in liters per hour, we need to convert both the gallons per minute and the minutes to liters and hours respectively.
First, we can convert the gallons per minute to liters per minute by using the conversion factor of 1 gallon = 3.785 liters:
15 gallons/minute * 3.785 liters/gallon = 56.775 liters/minute
Next, we can convert the minutes to hours by multiplying by the conversion factor of 60 minutes/hour:
56.775 liters/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 3406.5 liters/hour
Therefore, the rate at which the liquid is being poured is 3406.5 liters per hour.
