Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18\,\dfrac{\text{L}}{\text{min}}

Question

What is Uche's pumping rate in \dfrac{\text{mL}}{\text{s}}?

Answer 1

To convert from liters per minute to milliliters per second, we need to keep in mind that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters and 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.

So, Uche's pumping rate in \dfrac{\text{mL}}{\text{s}} is given by:

18\,\dfrac{\text{L}}{\text{min}} \times \dfrac{1000 \text{mL}}{1 \text{L}} \times \dfrac{1 \text{min}}{60 \text{s}} = \dfrac{300 \text{mL}}{ \text{s}}

Therefore, Uche's pumping rate is \boxed{300\,\dfrac{\text{mL}}{\text{s}}}.
