Question

question 8
a pump moves 4 gallons per minute. how many liters per hour does it pump?
(1 gal=3.785 l)
it pumps ______ l/hr.

○ 908.4
○ 900
○ 15.14

Explanation:

Step1: Convert minutes to hours

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the pump moves \( 4 \, \text{gallons/minute} \times 60 \, \text{minutes/hour} = 240 \, \text{gallons/hour} \).

Step2: Convert gallons to liters

Using the conversion factor \( 1 \, \text{gal} = 3.785 \, \text{L} \), we get \( 240 \, \text{gallons/hour} \times 3.785 \, \text{L/gallon} = 908.4 \, \text{L/hour} \).

Answer:

908.4
