What's your question?

I can help :)

omg Question 1: Part A: Explain why we do not measure the rate at which water flows out through a showerhead in cubic meters per second? In your explanation, use reasoning based on appropriate units to model this situation. Part B: What are the two quantities that should be measured to find the rate at which water flows out of a showerhead? Explain how the rate can be determined.

@mgarrick7 first things first, a cubic meter looks something like this:|dw:1426305886382:dw|

ok, i like the visual

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

I'm glad that helps you picture things better :)

@Jamierox4ev3r , why we do not measure the rate at which water flows out through a showerhead in cubic meters per second?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

well, a capacity more appropriate to measure liquids is liters

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

that way, you can measure the precise amount of liquid that comes out of the shower head. Cubic meters is a far too big unit of measurement

so how will I word that to answer part A and B of the question

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Well I already gave you the explanation to Part A. and for part b, a rate is always made up of two components. I think you should use liters, but you can also use seconds to measure how many liters of water come out of the shower head per second. It would make a reasonable rate.

Oh okay That's understanble .... can I ask another question ?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Sure...just be sure to open up a new question, and close this one :) We don't want to have too many questions in one thread, or else the thread becomes laggy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can the rate be determined ?
