Assume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0 gal gas tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per second. (b) Determine the rate at which the tank is filled in cubic meters per second. (c) Determine the time interval, in hours, required to fill a 1.00 m^3 volume at the same rate. ( 1 US gal = 231 in.^3)

Question

Perhaps the only hurdle in this question is the conversion factor between in^3 and m^3

$$1 inch^{3}=16.58\times10^{-6}m ^{3}$$
The rest in simple
$$1gallon = 231 inch ^{3}=231\times16.58\times10^{-6} = 0.0038m ^{3}$$
