Chapter 2 Section 2 Units of Measurement Squares vs Cubes….. You do the whole process the same! Just insert a cube ( 3 ) or square ( 2 ) into the conversion factor or ALL number AND ALL units You try this one….. Water flows through the

Chapter 2 Section 2 Units of Measurement You try this one….. Water flows through each of the discharge gates at a rate of 200,000 cubic feet per second, what is that in cubic meters per hour? cubic foot = ft 3 & cubic meter = m 3
