Real-world Examples of Different Quantities in Litres per Second:

1. Household Kitchen Faucet:

   • A typical household kitchen faucet has a flow rate of about 2 to 2.2 liters per minute. Converting this to liters per second:
     • 2 liters per minute / 60 seconds per minute = 0.0333 L/s
     • 2.2 liters per minute / 60 seconds per minute = 0.0367 L/s

2. Fire Hose:

   • A standard fire hose can have a flow rate between 500 to 1000 liters per minute.
     • 500 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 8.33 L/s
     • 1000 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 16.67 L/s

3. Garden Hose:

   • A typical garden hose can deliver around 15 to 30 liters per minute.
     • 15 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 0.25 L/s
     • 30 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 0.5 L/s

4. Shower Head:

   • A water-efficient shower head might use about 9 liters per minute.
     • 9 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 0.15 L/s

5. Fire Hydrant:

   • A fire hydrant can flow at a rate of about 1000 to 1500 liters per minute.
     • 1000 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 16.67 L/s
     • 1500 liters per minute / 60 seconds = 25 L/s

Conversions for Real-world Contexts:

1. Faucet at 0.0333 L/s:
