✓ Correct answer: C. 2244 GPMTo find the flow rate in gallons per minute, follow these steps: 1. First, convert 5 cubic feet per second to gallons per second. $$5 \, \text{CFS} \times 7.48 \, \text{gallons/ft}^3 = 37.4 \, \text{gallons/second}$$ 2. Then, convert gallons per second to gallons per minute. $$37.4 \, \text{gallons/second} \times 60 \, \text{seconds/minute} = 2244 \, \text{GPM}$$ Therefore, the flow rate is 2244 GPM.
