Convert gallon / second to cubic foot / minute

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

3.785411784 \times {10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 1}} = x \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0}

Simplify

3.785411784 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times \frac{2.8316846592}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{2.8316846592}{60.0} = 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 1}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{2.8316846592})

x \times \frac{2.8316846592}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{2.8316846592} = 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{60.0}{2.8316846592}

Cancel

x \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 2.8316846592} = 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{60.0}{2.8316846592}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 1} \times 60.0}{2.8316846592}

Solve

x

x \approx 8.0208333333 \approx 8.0208

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d}) \approx 8.0208 (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{m i n u t e})
