To convert gallons per second to pints per minute, we first need to know the conversion factors between gallons and pints, as well as seconds and minutes.
1 gallon = 8 pints
1 minute = 60 seconds
Now, let's convert 52 gallons per second to pints per minute:
-
Convert gallons to pints: \[ 52 \text{ gallons} \times 8 \text{ pints/gallon} = 416 \text{ pints} \]
-
Convert seconds to minutes: \[ 1 \text{ second} = \frac{1}{60} \text{ minute} \] Therefore, to convert from pints per second to pints per minute: \[ \text{Rate in pints per minute} = 416 \text{ pints/second} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} \]
-
Now calculate it: \[ 416 \text{ pints/second} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 24,960 \text{ pints/minute} \]
Thus, \(52 \text{ gallons/second} = 24,960 \text{ pints/minute}\).
