[

75 , \text{gallons} \times 3,785.41 , \text{ml/gallon} = 283,905.75 , \text{ml}

]

  1. Daily to per minute: There are 1,440 minutes in a day (24 hours x 60 minutes). To find out how many milliliters are delivered per minute, divide the total milliliters by the number of minutes in a day:

[

\frac{283,905.75 , \text{ml}}{1,440 , \text{minutes}} \approx 197.43 , \text{ml/min}

]

This calculation shows that the flow rate of 75 gallons per day corresponds to approximately 197 milliliters per minute. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives you
