Convert gal to meter / square hour

Learn how to convert 1 gal to meter / square hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(gal\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } hour}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(gal\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } hour}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}}\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(gal\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } hour}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(10^{-2} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}} = 10^{-2}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.296 \times 10^{7}}{1.0}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.0}{1.296 \times 10^{7}} \times \dfrac{1.296 \times 10^{7}}{1.0} = 10^{-2} \times \dfrac{1.296 \times 10^{7}}{1.0}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.0}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{1.296}} \times {\color{rgb(166,218,227)} \cancel{10^{7}}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{1.296}} \times {\color{rgb(166,218,227)} \cancel{10^{7}}} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.0}}} = {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-2}}} \times \dfrac{1.296 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{5}}{10^{7}}}}{1.0}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1.296 \times 10^{5}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 129600 = 1.296 \times 10^{5}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(gal\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.296 \times 10^{5}}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } hour}\right)\)
