Convert the flow rate of 21 cubic meters per minute to gallons per second. Include the quart to liter conversion factor. Convert the numerator first, then convert the denominator. Use the table of Unit Equivalencies in Lesson 1.5 to create conversion factors. Show all needed conversion factors. Some spaces may not require numbers - in which case enter 1. Some units may be blank - in which case select the second item in the list, which is a blank space. Round final answer to 2 decimal places if needed. The setup below should look like the typical dimensional analysis that you learned. If it doesn't, resize the window on your computer, if possible

(21)/(1)\cdot(cm^3)/(min)

Let's make the conversion step by step:


(21)/(1)\cdot(cm^3)/(min)\cdot(1L)/(1000cm^3)\cdot(1qt)/(0.946L)\cdot(1gal)/(4qt)\cdot(1min)/(60s)

Therefore, the result is:


(1)/(227040)(gal)/(s)
