Question 537274: I need help with this please:
As the Blizzard of '96 snow melted, the Potomac River was flowing at a rate of 156 millions gallon per minute. This would have filled Sun Devil Stadium, home of Super Bowl XXX, in 1 minute, 25 seconds. The Ohio River, on the other hand, would have filled the stadium in just 51 seconds. What was the Ohio's flow rate, in gallons per minute?
