Answer:
1200 ml per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To compute what rate is 300 ml over 15 mins as a rate of ml per hour, we do a rule of 3, using a variable x as that amount of ml we don't know yet. We should have everything in the same units, so instead of writing 1 hour we write 60 minutes:
[tex] \frac{300~ml}{15~min}=\frac{x~ml}{60~mins}[/tex]
Now we solve for x:
[tex] \frac{300~ml}{15~min}\cdot 60~mins=x~ml[/tex]
[tex] \frac{18000~ml}{15} =x~ml[/tex]
[tex] 1200~ml =x~ml[/tex]
And so, now that we know the value of x, the rate we wanted to find is
[tex]\frac{1200~ml}{60~mins}[/tex]
Which is just 1200 ml per hour.
