Question

a pool is filled with water at a rate of 2 liters every 5 seconds.
which expression represents the rate at which the pool is filled in milliliters per second? use 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters.
a. $\frac{2}{5}$
b. $\frac{20}{5}$
c. $\frac{2,000}{5}$
d. $\frac{0.002}{5}$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert liters to milliliters

Given 1 liter = 1000 milliliters, so 2 liters = \(2\times1000 = 2000\) milliliters.

Step2: Find the rate in milliliters per second

The pool is filled with 2000 milliliters every 5 seconds. So the rate is \(\frac{2000}{5}\) milliliters per second.

Answer:

C. \(\frac{2,000}{5}\)
