In this article I will show you how to convert 478 litres per second into cubic yards per second. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 478 lps to yd³ps. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Litres per second to Cubic yards per second
A litres per second is smaller than a cubic yards per second. I know that a lps is smaller than a yd³ps because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 478 litres per second into cubic yards per second, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for lps to yd³ps is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 478 lps to yd³ps by multiplying 0.0013079503763627 by the number of litres per second we have, which is 478.
So, the answer to the question "what is 478 litres per second in cubic yards per second?" is 0.62520027990138 yd³ps.
