Jessica:
Multiplying 1 minute x 60 = 1 hour, so multiplying the quantity per minute (5.6 gallons) by 60 gives us the quantity per hour - which equals 336 gallons / hour.
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard and each cubic foot will hold 7.4805 gallons. 27 cubic feet * 7.4805 gallons = 201.9735 gallons (in 1 cubic yard).
336 gallons (per hour) / 201.9735 gallons (in 1 cubic yard) = 1.6636 cubic yards / hour.
