When multiplying conversion factors, make sure the only remaining units are the desired units.
105.6L/h=1.76L/h
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by writing the given statement.
105.6 L/h= L/min
In this exercise, we need to change liters per hour into liters per minute. To do so, we will use the fact that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. Let's write this relationship as a unit ratio.
60 min/1h
To perform the conversion, we need to multiply 105.6 liters per hour by the unit ratio or its reciprocal. Remember, we want to arrange these ratios such that every unit we do not want gets canceled out, and only the units that we want will remain.
We can now complete the given statement.
105.6 L/h=1.76 L/min
