Answer:
a) 14,878,080,000 ft³ b) 1.14‰
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 1 week is equivalent to (7days)
7 days is equivalent to(7 x 24 hours = 168 hours
168 hours is equivalent to 168 x 3600 secs = 604, 800 secs
therefore 1 weeks is = 604,800 secs
water as released at a rate of 24,600 ft³/s i.e for 1 sec, 24,600 ft³ volume of water are released.
Therefore, for 604, 800 secs , (604800 x 24,600 ft³ = 14,878,080,000 ft³ ) volume of water are released.
Hence during the 1 week flood 14,878,080,000 ft³ volume of water are released.
b) [tex]\frac{14,878,080,000 }{1,300,000,000,000}[/tex] x 100percent = 1.14‰
