You can put this solution on YOUR website!
17minutes20+seconds=17%261%2F3minutes=52%2F3minutes
because 20seconds=%2820seconds%29%281minute%2F%2260+seconds%22%29=1%2F3minute

To find the flow rate you just divide;
180Litres ÷ 52%2F3minutes=180%2A%283%2F52%29L+%2F+minute=180%2A3%2F52L+%2F+minute=180%2A3%2F52L+%2F+minute=highlight%28135%2F13%29L+%2F+minute= approximatelyhighlight%2810.4%29 Litres per minute.
