Question

3. A leaking tap drips water at 0,5 ml/sec. Convert this rate to l/h.​

Answer 1

Answer: 1.8 L/h

Explanation:

To convert the rate of water dripping from a tap from millilitres per second (ml/sec) to litres per hour (L/h), we need to use conversion factors.

Step 1:

First, let's convert the rate from millilitres per second to litres per second.

There are 1000 millilitres in a litre, so we can divide the rate in millilitres per second by 1000 to get the rate in litres per second:

`\LARGE \boxed{\textsf{0.5 ml/sec $/$ 1000 = 0.0005 L/sec}}`

Step 2:

We can convert the rate from litres per second to litres per hour. There are 3600 seconds in an hour, so we can multiply the rate in litres per second by 3600 to get the rate in litres per hour:

`\LARGE \boxed{\textsf{0.0005 L/sec $*$ 3600 = 1.8 L/h}}`

Therefore, the rate of water dripping from the tap is 1.8 L/h.
