Question 3017 of 223 · California Water Treatment Operator Exam

A chemical feed pump is set to deliver 40 mL per minute. How many gallons per day is that? (1 gal = 3,785 mL)

Exactly one answer is correct.

Show solution

Correct answer to question 3017

  • A: 15.2 gallons per day

Explanation

40 mL/min x 1,440 min/day = 57,600 mL/day, and 57,600 / 3,785 = 15.2 gal/day. Without the conversion for minutes to days, the answer is off by a large factor.
