A particular dam contains approximately 1,900,000,000,000 cubic feet of water. For a week long spike flood, water was released at a rate of 25,400 cubic feet per second. The amount of water released during the week-long flood was? And what percentage of the Dam was released during the flood ?

Explanation / Answer

1 second = 25,400 cubic feet

1 week = 25,400 X 86,400 X 7 = 15,361,920,000 cubic feet

So,the amount of water released during the week long flood = 15,361,920,000 cubic feet

Percentage of Dam = 15,361,920,000/1,900,000,000,000 = 0.008085

                                                                                  = 0.8085 %
