417 dl/s multiply by 60 for minutes -> 25020 dL/min
Now multiply by 100 (dl /10 -> cl /10 -> ml)

2502000 ml/min or 2,50 x 10^6 ml/min

I remember unit conversion being so goddamn hard when I was in 10th grade. Looking back now it makes no sense how it was even remotely difficult.

And just as a confidence booster for OP, 2500000 mL/min is the correct answer.
