Convert liter / minute to liter / second

Learn how to convert 1 liter / minute to liter / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{l i t e r}{s e c o n d})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 10^{- 3} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 10^{- 3} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{l i t e r}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} = x \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{10^{- 3}}{60.0} = x \times 10^{- 3}

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{60.0} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0166666667 \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{m i n u t e}) \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{l i t e r}{s e c o n d})
