Cubic yards per hour to Litres per minute conversion

How to convert cubic yards per hour to litres per minute?

To convert from cubic yards per hour to liters per minute, you'll need to follow these steps, taking into account the necessary unit conversions:

1. Convert cubic yards to cubic meters:

   • 1 cubic yard (yd³) = 0.764554857984 cubic meters (m³)

2. Convert cubic meters to liters:

   • 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1,000 liters (L)

3. Convert hours to minutes:

   • 1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min)

Let's break it down for 1 cubic yard per hour:

1. One cubic yard is equal to approximately 0.764554857984 cubic meters.
2. Therefore, 1 cubic yard/hour is equal to 0.764554857984 cubic meters per hour.
3. Since 1 cubic meter is 1,000 liters, then 0.764554857984 cubic meters is equal to 0.764554857984 * 1,000 = 764.554857984 liters.
4. Finally, converting hours to minutes, you divide by 60 (as there are 60 minutes in an hour). Thus, 764.554857984 liters per hour is equivalent to: $\frac{764.554857984 \text{ L}}{60 \text{ min}} \approx 12.7425809664 \text{ L/min}$.

Therefore, 1 cubic yard per hour is approximately 12.7426 liters per minute (rounded to four decimal places).

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Yards per Hour
