One piece of his roof is a rectangle that is 40 feet by 30 feet and all the rain rolls off into a gutter that feeds into a down spout that flows into a rain barrel with no backing up. How fast is the water flowing into the rain barrel during the middle of this downpour? Give your answer to the nearest gallon per minute.
(1 gallon = 0.134 cubic feet) |
1. Compute the area of the roof = _____ sq. ft.
2. Convert the rain rate into feet/minute = ______ ft. min.
3. Multiply these two to get the number of cu. ft./min =
_____cu. ft./min
4. Divide by the cubic feet per gallon to get the gallons per minute =
