Answer:

1 6/8 is a mixed number. To turn it into a fraction which is called an improper fraction you have to multiply the denominator by the whole number which is 1, then add the numerator which is 6. Your answer should be 14/8 or simplified to be 7/4.

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Multiply the denominator and the whole number. In this case it's 1 and 8. 1x8.

Step 2: Once you get the answer to 1x8 which is 8, you add the numerator to the product. 8+6=14.

Step 3: Since we now know the answer is 14/8 we need to simplify it. We find the greatest common factor between numerator and denominator which is 2. Then divide both 14 and 8 by 2.

Step 4: 1 6/8 as a fraction is 14/8 which simplifies to 7/4.

Although the actual amount varies by season and time of day, the average volume of water that flows over the falls each second

Given that the average volume of water that flows over the falls each second is $4.8 \times 10^5$ gallons.

There are 3,600 seconds in one hour.

Thus, in one hour, $4.8 \times 10^5\times3600=17280\times10^5=1.728\times10^9$ gallons of water flows over the falls.

Therefore, the amount of water that flows over the falls is $1.728\times10^9$ .
