Fluid Ounces per minute to Gallons per hour conversion

How to convert fluid ounces per minute to gallons per hour?

Sure, I’d be happy to explain how to convert fluid ounces per minute (fl oz/min) to gallons per hour (gal/hr)! Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Understand the conversion factors:

   • There are 60 minutes (min) in an hour (hr).
   • There are 128 fluid ounces (fl oz) in a gallon (gal).

2. Convert fluid ounces per minute to fluid ounces per hour:

   • Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you multiply the flow rate in fluid ounces per minute by 60 to get fluid ounces per hour.

     For example: $1 \text{ fl oz/min} \times 60 = 60 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

3. Convert fluid ounces per hour to gallons per hour:

   • Now, take the number of fluid ounces per hour and divide it by the number of fluid ounces in a gallon (128 fl oz/gal).

     For example: $60 \text{ fl oz/hr} \div 128 \text{ fl oz/gal} = \frac{60}{128} \text{ gal/hr}$ $= 0.46875 \text{ gal/hr}$

So, 1 fluid ounce per minute is equivalent to approximately 0.46875 gallons per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities

Example 1: Converting 10 fl oz/min to gal/hr

1. Convert to fluid ounces per hour: $10 \text{ fl oz/min} \times 60 = 600 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

2. Convert to gallons per hour: $600 \text{ fl oz/hr} \div 128 = 4.6875 \text{ gal/hr}$

Example 2: Converting 25 fl oz/min to gal/hr

1. Convert to fluid ounces per hour: $25 \text{ fl oz/min} \times 60 = 1500 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

2. Convert to gallons per hour: $1500 \text{ fl oz/hr} \div 128 = 11.71875 \text{ gal/hr}$

Example 3: Converting 50 fl oz/min to gal/hr

1. Convert to fluid ounces per hour: $50 \text{ fl oz/min} \times 60 = 3000 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

2. Convert to gallons per hour: $3000 \text{ fl oz/hr} \div 128 = 23.4375 \text{ gal/hr}$

Summary

• 1 fl oz/min = 0.46875 gal/hr
• 10 fl oz/min = 4.6875 gal/hr
• 25 fl oz/min = 11.71875 gal/hr
• 50 fl oz/min = 23.4375 gal/hr

These conversions can be useful in various real-world applications, such as determining the flow rate of a beverage dispenser, a garden hose, an aquarium pump, or any other scenario where you need to convert small flows in fluid ounces per minute to larger flows in gallons per hour.
