Convert cubic yard / second to gallon / second

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c u b i c y a r d}{s e c o n d}) = 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 y a r d}{s e c o n d}) = 0.764554857984 (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 0.764554857984 (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d}) = 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 4.40488377086 \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 y a r d}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.764554857984 \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 4.40488377086 \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 0.764554857984 \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.764554857984 \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

0.764554857984 = x \times 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}

Switch sides

x \times 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3} = 0.764554857984

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}})

x \times 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} = 0.764554857984 \times \frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}

Cancel

x \times 4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} = 0.764554857984 \times \frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.764554857984}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} can be rewritten to 10^{3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{3} \times 0.764554857984}{4.40488377086}

Solve

x

x \approx 173.56981427 \approx 1.7357 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c u b i c y a r d}{s e c o n d}) \approx 1.7357 \times 10^{2} (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d})
