Answer:
[tex]5.4*10^7 gallons[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in a second therefore there are...
60*60=3600 seconds in an hour
We are given that 1.5 × 10⁴ gallons flow every second. We can use this information to set up an unit converter.
[tex]3600 \ seconds(\frac{1.5*10^4\ gallons}{1\ second})=3600*1.5*10^4=5400*10^4[/tex]
Note that we need the answer in scientific notation. We need to multiply a number that is between 1 and 10 by [tex]10^n[/tex]...
[tex]5.4*10^7\ gallons[/tex]
