Flow Rate Conversion and Units

The video tutorial explains how to convert a flow rate from liters per minute to quarts per minute. It begins by identifying the units involved and setting up the conversion as a fraction. The instructor then discusses finding the appropriate conversion factor and applying it to simplify the units. The process is finalized by verifying the conversion and ensuring the units are correctly expressed as quarts per minute.
