Convert 892 gpm to cubic feet per second.

To convert gallons per minute (gpm) to cubic feet per second (cfs), it is essential to understand the conversion factors involved.

First, we note that there are 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot and 60 seconds in one minute. Therefore, to convert from gpm to cfs, we can use the following formula:

[

\text{CFS} = \frac{\text{GPM}}{7.48 \text{ (gallons per cubic foot)} \times 60 \text{ (seconds per minute)}}

]

Plugging the numbers into the formula for 892 gpm:

[

\text{CFS} = \frac{892}{7.48 \times 60}

]

Calculating the denominator:

[

7.48 \times 60 = 448.8

]

Now divide 892 by 448.8:

[

\text{CFS} = \frac{892}{448.8} \approx 1.99

]

Thus, the correct conversion of 892 gpm to cubic feet per second is approximately 1.99 cfs. This calculation correctly applies the conversion factors and arrives at the answer
