Question
water flows through a pipe at a rate of 10 milliliters per day. express this rate of flow in liters per year.
*note: you must use these exact conversion factors to get this question right.
| volume | time |
|---|---|
| 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (cups) | 1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min) |
| 1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt) | 1 day (day) = 24 hours (hr) |
| 1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt) | 1 week (week) = 7 days (days) |
| 1 cubic foot (ft³) = 7.481 gallons (gal) | 1 month (month) = 30 days (days) |
| 1 liter (l) = 1000 milliliters (ml) | 1 year (year) = 365 days (days) |
|1 cubic meter (m³) = 1000 liters (l)|
|1 gallon (gal) = 3.785 liters (l)|
|1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = |
Step1: Convert milliliters to liters
We know that 1 liter = 1000 milliliters. So, 10 milliliters is $\frac{10}{1000}=0.01$ liters per day.
Step2: Convert days to years
There are 365 days in a year. To find the rate in liters per year, we multiply the rate in liters per day by the number of days in a year. So, $0.01\times365 = 3.65$ liters per year.
