Convert gallon / minute to gill / second

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{g i l l}{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{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g i l l}{s e c o n d}) = 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 4} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 4} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} = x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 4}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}{60.0} = x \times 1.420653125 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 1}}

Simplify

\frac{4.40488377086}{60.0} = x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}

Switch sides

x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1} = \frac{4.40488377086}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}})

x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}} = \frac{4.40488377086}{60.0} \times \frac{1.0}{1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel

x \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}} = \frac{4.40488377086 \times 1.0}{60.0 \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.40488377086}{60.0 \times 1.420653125 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 4.40488377086}{60.0 \times 1.420653125}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.5167674517 \approx 5.1677 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{m i n u t e}) \approx 5.1677 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{g i l l}{s e c o n d})
