Most homes have an outdoor faucet to which they can attach a standard 3/4 inch (diameter) garden hose. When it is attached to a standard garden hose, Fred's outdoor faucet delivers water at a rate of 8.5 feet/sec. In order to water a larger area, Fred splits his standard hose into three 1/2 inch lines. If the water is distributed through all of the 1/2 inch hoses equally, what is the volume flow output of each of the 1/2 inch lines. ft3/s
