The rate of water used in a small town is 200 kL/h. Express this as L/min.

To express the rate of water usage from kiloliters per hour (kL/h) to liters per minute (L/min), follow these steps:

1. **Convert kiloliters to liters**:
   - \( 1 \, \text{kL} = 1000 \, \text{L} \)
   - So, \( 200 \, \text{kL/h} = 200 \times 1000 = 200,000 \, \text{L/h} \)

2. **Convert hours to minutes**:
   - \( 1 \, \text{hour} = 60 \, \text{minutes} \)
   - Thus, the rate in liters per minute is:
   \[
   \frac{200,000 \, \text{L}}{60 \, \text{min}} = 3333.33 \, \text{L/min}
   \]

Therefore, the rate of water used is **3333.33 L/min**.
