You run an experiment to estimate the water flow rate of the drip irrigation system in the Elon High Tunnel greenhouse. You randomly place 10 small 1-quart paint buckets in the soil along the irrigation system. The table below summarizes the water volume collected in the buckets. The irrigation system was running for 2 hrs. Each bucket has a diameter of 11.2 cm, and volume was measured in milliliters (ml). What is the average drip flow in the irrigation system in inches/hr? (Hint: look up the formula for the area of a circle if you don't already know it).
