36,000,000 gallons
Given:
The Canadian side of Niagara Falls has a flow rate of 600,000 gallons per second.
Question:
How many gallons of water flow over the falls in one minute?
The Process:
A flow rate of 600,000 gallons per second means that every 1 second flows 600,000 gallons of water.
[tex]\boxed{ \ 1 \ second = 600,000 \ gallons \ }[/tex]
Recall that [tex]\boxed{ \ 1 \ minute = 60 \ seconds \ }[/tex]
We will find out how many gallons of water flow over the falls in one minute.
[tex]\boxed{ \ \frac{600,000 \ gallons}{1 \ second} \times 60 \ seconds \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 36,000,000 \ }}[/tex]
Thus, 36,000,000 gallons of water flow over the Niagara Falls in one minute.
