First, convert values so that all units match. I would use cm. Then calculate the cross-sectional area of the aorta . The velocity multiplied by the cross-sectional area gives you the volumetric flow rate. Then convert your final answer to the units requested. I'm not going to do this for you. This is a simple calculation.
