Further explanation

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 1 minute?

The Process:

We will solve the problem of finding many gallons of water flow over the falls in one minute. This is related to unit conversions.

Let us look carefully.

• Every second flows 600,000 gallons of water.
• In one minute, or 60 seconds, water flows as much as:

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{600,000 \ gallons}{1 \ second} \times 60 \ seconds \ }$

• The second unit is crossed out.
• The total zero from the multiplication above is six, while the yield of 6 times 6 is 36, so the final result is 36,000,000.

$\boxed{ \ 600,000 \ gallons \times 60 = 36,000,000 \ gallons \ }$

Thus, the amount of water flowing in a waterfall is $\boxed{\boxed{ \ 36,000,000 \ gallons \ }}$
