Cups per second to Gallons per minute conversion

How to convert cups per second to gallons per minute?

Sure, let's walk through the conversion from Cups per second to Gallons per minute.

Conversion Steps:

1. Identify the conversion factors:

   • 1 cup = 0.0625 gallons
   • 1 minute = 60 seconds

2. Convert Cups per second to Gallons per second first:

   • Since 1 cup = 0.0625 gallons, we have: $1 \, \text{cups/second} = 1 \, \text{cups/second} \times 0.0625 \, \text{gallons/cup} = 0.0625 \, \text{gallons/second}$

3. Convert Gallons per second to Gallons per minute:

   • 1 minute = 60 seconds, so: $0.0625 \, \text{gallons/second} = 0.0625 \, \text{gallons/second} \times 60 \, \text{seconds/minute} = 3.75 \, \text{gallons/minute}$

So, 1 Cups per second is equivalent to 3.75 Gallons per minute.
