Step 1: Convert millilitres to gallons

1 US gallon = 3785.41 mL
So,

1000mL=1000/3785.41≈0.2642 gallons
​
Step 2: Find gallons per second
0.2642gallons/45seconds≈0.00587 gallons/second

Step 3: Convert seconds to days

1 day = 86,400 seconds

So,

0.00587×86400≈507.2gallons/day

Step 4: Convert gallons/day to million gallons/day (MGD)
507.2/1,000,000≈0.000507 MGD


✅ Final Answer:
A flow of 1000 mL in 45 seconds = ~0.000507 MGD (Million Gallons per Day)
