Convert gal to inch / square second

Learn how to convert 1 gal to inch / square second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

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

Left side: 1.0 (g a l) = 10^{- 2} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 10^{- 2} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

10^{- 2} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

10^{- 2} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times 2.54

Switch sides

x \times 2.54 = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.54})

x \times 2.54 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54} = \times \frac{1.0}{2.54}

Cancel

x \times 2.54 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54} = \frac{1.0}{2.54}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{2.54}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.3937007874 \approx 3.937 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (g a l) \approx 3.937 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{i n c h}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})
