you do 48.6 divided by 4.5 to get 10.8 liters

First, analyze the dimensions.  Note that you need to determine TIME (how many minutes?).  If you divide "liters" by "[liters / minute],"  you'll get "minutes."

Does that help you know whether to divide 4.5 liters per minute by 48.6 liters of water, or to divide 48.6 liters of water by 4.5 liters/minute?
