Convert cubic foot / second to gallon / minute

Learn how to convert 1 cubic foot / second to gallon / minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d}) = 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times \frac{4.54609 \times {10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 1}}}{60.0}

Simplify

2.8316846592 = x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}}{60.0} = 2.8316846592

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}})

x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}} = 2.8316846592 \times \frac{60.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1} \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}} = 2.8316846592 \times \frac{60.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.8316846592 \times 60.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 2.8316846592 \times 60.0}{4.54609}

Solve

x

x \approx 373.73012754 \approx 3.7373 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d}) \approx 3.7373 \times 10^{2} (\frac{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e})
