link981 @keycompany a small typo, 100 cm^3 = 1 L not 1000cm^3. 1000 mL^3= 1 L +

hello @keycompany how did you edit your original comment to fix your typo? +

winelover777 Pretty sure @keycompany was correct. 1 L = 1000 cm^3. Otherwise the answer would be 24. +3

drdoom 1 centimeter is a distance. (A line.) +

drdoom If we multiply a line by another line, we get a surface area. (A piece of paper.) +

drdoom If we multiply the piece of paper by another line, we get volume. (A cube. A box.) +

drdoom If we fill the box with a fluid, we will have 1 mL of this fluid. +

drdoom If we have a thousand of these boxes, we have 1 L of fluid. +

drdoom 1,ooo mL = 1 Liter = 1,ooo centimeter³ +

if one still doesn't understand to add on .. 1000 cm^3 = 1000 ml 1000ml = 1 Litre

angelaq11 Thankfully I was taught how to convert units, but let me tell you that I was SO lost on this one. It's USELESS to know how to do it if you (I, I mean I) don't know the damn formula xD. Obviously got this one wrong, but it's good to know that if it ever comes up again (and I know it won't) I already know it. +1

This is all you need for conversions:

1cm3 = 1 ml ... thus 40 cm3 = 40 ml

So to make it faster I would do it like this

40 ml/sec * 60 sec/1min * 1L/1000ml = 2.4 L/min

If, like me, you dislike memorizing formulas, but are okay doing the actual math, I always just look at the units. It wanted L/min, and I had to get it using cm^2 and cm/sec...

Well, I know cm^3 gives volume (L) after bashing out a few conversions, so multiply it is!

Then I know to turn seconds into minutes, so multiply by 60.

Now, at this point, I knew my decimals were off, but still, 4x6 = 24, so it's some version of that. Had they included 24 or .24 as answers, I'd have actually had to pay attention to my conversions.

Anyways, I hope that helps!

This question was on my MCAT and I laughed when I saw it.

Things you gave to know: cm^3 = mL , then how to convert units.

2cm^2 x 20 cm/sec = 40cm^3 / sec = 40 mL / sec

From here just convert 40 mL / sec to L / min

40 mL / sec x 1 L / 1000 mL x 60 sec / 1 minute = 2.4 L / min
