The following conversion equivalents are given:
1.00 gal = 231 in³, 1.0 ft = 12 in 1.0 min = 60 s. If a pipe delivers water at the rate of 95 gal/min,its rate of flow in ft³/s is closest to

First, convert gallons per minute to cubic inches per second: $95 \, \text{gal/min} \times 231 \, \text{in}^3/\text{gal} \times 1 \, \text{min}/60 \, \text{s} = 364.25 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$. Then, convert cubic inches to cubic feet: $364.25 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s} \times 1 \, \text{ft}^3/1728 \, \text{in}^3 = 0.21 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{s}$.
