Convert cubic meter / hour to gallon / second

Learn how to convert 1 cubic meter / hour to gallon / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 m e t e r}{h o u r}) = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d}) = 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}

Switch sides

x \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}})

x \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}}

Cancel

x \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 3.785411784}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0733811257 \approx 7.3381 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{h o u r}) \approx 7.3381 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d})
