one of the valves on the hoover dam releases 40,000 gallons of water per second. what is the rate in gallons per minute?
I came for the answer..yall are just saying stuff
How many seconds per minute ???
40,000 gallons per minute is 40,000 because 40,000 divided by 1 is 40,000
I need a answer
To find the rate in gallons per minute, we can convert the rate from gallons per second to gallons per minute.
First, let's determine how many seconds are in a minute. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so the conversion factor is 60.
To convert the rate from gallons per second to gallons per minute, multiply the given rate in gallons per second (40,000 gallons) by the conversion factor:
40,000 gallons/second * 60 seconds/minute = 2,400,000 gallons/minute
Therefore, the rate of water release from the valve is 2,400,000 gallons per minute.
