Convert gallon / second to cubic yard / second

Learn how to convert 1 gallon / second to cubic yard / second 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 y a r d}{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}{s e c o n d}) = 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right 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})

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 y a r d}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 0.764554857984 \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot 0.764554857984 \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times 0.764554857984 \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 0.764554857984

Switch sides

x \times 0.764554857984 = 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.764554857984})

x \times 0.764554857984 \times \frac{1.0}{0.764554857984} = 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{0.764554857984}

Cancel

x \times 0.764554857984 \times \frac{1.0}{0.764554857984} = 4.54609 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{0.764554857984}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 3}}{0.764554857984}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0059460612 \approx 5.9461 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g a l l o n}{s e c o n d}) \approx 5.9461 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{c u b i c y a r d}{s e c o n d})
