Answer:

1310 cubic feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the value in cubic feet per minute

Note that;

1 cubic meter per second = 2118.87997 cubic feet per minute

Given 0.618 cubic meter per second, to be able to solve for x, we'll go ahead and set the proportions as seen below;


\frac{1\text{ cubic meter per second}}{0.618\text{ cubic meter per second}}=\frac{2118.87997\text{ cubic f}eet\text{ per minute}}{x\text{ cubic f}eet\text{ per minute}}

Let's go ahead and cross-multiply;


\begin{gathered} x=2118.87997*0.618 \\ x=1309.46782146cfm \\ x=1310\text{cfm (to 3 significant figures)} \end{gathered}
