One cubic foot per second flow equals how many gallons per hour?

• A. 2,794
• B. 26,928
• C. 3,500
• D. 6,000

Answer: (B)

Converting a flow rate from cubic feet per second to gallons per hour requires turning cubic feet into gallons and seconds into hours. One cubic foot equals 7.48052 gallons, and there are 3600 seconds in an hour. So 1 cubic foot per second equals 7.48052 × 3600 ≈ 26,929.872 gallons per hour. That near-26,928 value is the correct match among the options. The other numbers are far from this established conversion, since 1 cfs corresponds to about 26,930 gph, not a few thousand or a few hundred.
