Please help me, I need to turn this in soon!

Experts estimate that when levees break in the aftermath of a​ hurricane, water can flow into a city at a peak rate of 8 billion gallons per day. There are 7.5 gallons in 1 cubic foot.

Find the flow rate in units of cubic feet per second​ (cfs). Compare this flow rate to a river with an average flow rate of 25000cfs.

The flow rate is ___ ​cfs, which is approximately _____​% of the flow rate of the river. ​(Round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

Answer:

Rate = 12345.67 (cubic foot per second)

Flow rate = 49.3826

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation:

7.5 gallons = 1 cubic foot

1 gallon = 1 / 7.5 cubic foot

So,

8 billion gallon = (8 / 7.5) billion cubic foot

Rate = [8/(7.5 × 24123456 × 60 × 60)]

Rate = 12345.67 (cubic foot per second)

Flow rate = (12345.67/25,000) 100

Flow rate = 49.3826
