What is the equivalent of 35.1 cubic feet per second when converted to gallons per minute?

• A. 12,600 gpm
• B. 15,800 gpm
• C. 20,100 gpm
• D. 10,500 gpm

Answer: (B)

To convert from cubic feet per second to gallons per minute, it is important to know the conversion factors between these units. There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you can derive the formula for the conversion as follows: 1. Start by converting cubic feet to gallons: \[ \text{Gallons per second} = \text{Cubic feet per second} \times 7.48 \] 2. Next, convert from gallons per second to gallons per minute: \[ \text{Gallons per minute} = \text{Gallons per second} \times 60 \] Putting these together for the calculation: 1. First, convert 35.1 cubic feet per second to gallons: \[ 35.1 \, \text{cubic feet per second} \times 7.48 \, \text{gallons per cubic foot} = 262.148 \, \text{gallons per second} \] 2. Then, convert gallons per second to gallons per minute: \[ 262.148 \, \text{gallons

To convert from cubic feet per second to gallons per minute, it is important to know the conversion factors between these units. There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you can derive the formula for the conversion as follows:

1. Start by converting cubic feet to gallons:

[

\text{Gallons per second} = \text{Cubic feet per second} \times 7.48

]

2. Next, convert from gallons per second to gallons per minute:

[

\text{Gallons per minute} = \text{Gallons per second} \times 60

]

Putting these together for the calculation:

1. First, convert 35.1 cubic feet per second to gallons:

[

35.1 , \text{cubic feet per second} \times 7.48 , \text{gallons per cubic foot} = 262.148 , \text{gallons per second}

]

2. Then, convert gallons per second to gallons per minute:
