Answer:

355.923 cubic feet per month

Explanation:

Units Conversions

We need to convert from pints/day to cubic feet/month. Two basic conversions are needed:

1 US pint = 0.0167101 cubic foot

1 month = 30 days (average)

710 pints are equivalent to 710 * 0.0167101 = 11.8641 cubic feet

That volume corresponds to a daily flow. For a monthly flow, multiply by 30:

355.923 cubic feet per month
