If water is leaking from a certain tank at a constant rate, is it leaking at a rate that is greater than 12 litres per hour?
(1 liter = 1,000 milliliters)
(1) Water is leaking from the tank at a rate that is greater than 2 milliliters per second.
(2) Water is leaking from the tank at a rate that is less than 5 milliliters per second.

Answer:

Both options are correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct answer, We must know how much 12 liters per hour equals to milliliters per second.

1 liter= 1000 mililiters

12 liters = 12.000 mililiters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

So,

[tex]\frac{12 liters}{1 hour} = \frac{12.000 mililiters}{3600 seconds} = 3,33 [tex][/tex]\frac{mililiters}{second}[/tex]

This rate of 3,33 mililiters per second is greater than 2 mililiters per second and less than 5 mililitres per second.
