Convert 6 million gallons per day to cubic feet per second.

To convert 6 million gallons per day to cubic feet per second, it's necessary to understand the conversions involved between gallons, cubic feet, and time.

First, we need to convert gallons to cubic feet. There are 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot. To find out how many cubic feet are in 6 million gallons, we can use the conversion factor:

1. Calculate the total number of cubic feet in 6 million gallons:

[

\text{Cubic Feet} = \frac{6,000,000 \text{ gallons}}{7.48 \text{ gallons/cubic foot}} = 802,000.54 \text{ cubic feet}

]

Next, we need to convert the time from days to seconds. There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. Thus:

2. Total number of seconds in one day:

[

\text{Seconds in a day} = 24 \times 60 \times 60 = 86,400 \text{ seconds}

]

Now, we can convert cubic feet per day to cubic feet per second:

3. Calculate cubic feet per second:
