Question

URGENT PLEASE HELP!!

1. It takes 5s to fill a 1L container of water from a aucet. What is the flow rate
of the faucet in litres per second and in litres per hour?

Answer 1

Liters per second is 0.2 LPS

Liters per hour is 720

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the litres by the time, than multiply the time of an hour (in seconds) and than multiply the lps by time of an hour in seconds.

Answer 2

the flow rate of the faucet is 720 litres per hour and 0.2 litres per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

1L

---

5 s

5s is 12 drips per minute or 0.2 per seconds because 1L/5s is 0.2

To find liters per hour I calculated how many seconds are in an hour. So, one hour has 60 minutes and one minute has 60 seconds. 1 hour = (60 minutes/hour) × (60 seconds/minute) = 3600 seconds/hour.

0.2 litres per second x 3600 = 720 litres per hour

Therefore, the flow rate of the faucet is 720 litres per hour and 0.2 litres per second.
