Answer 1

Seconds in a week: 7*24*60*60=604800
604800*25100=15180480000 cubic feet of water released in a week

Answer 2

The amount of water released during the​ week-long flood was 15,180,400,000 cubic feet per second.

Explanation:

How many seconds are there in a week?

Each minute has 60 seconds

Each hour has 60 minutes

Each day has 24 hours

Each week has 7 days. So

60*60*24*7 = 604,800

A week has 604,800 seconds.

Water was released at a rate of 25,100 cubic feet per second.

In a week(604,800 seconds)

604,800*25,100 = 15,180,400,000

The amount of water released during the​ week-long flood was 15,180,400,000 cubic feet per second.
