Answer:

16 cubic feet per hour

Explanation:

We want to convert from cubic inch per minute to cubic feet per hour,

We can use the standard conversion rate:

1 cubic inch per minute = 0.0347222 cubic feet per hour

=> 462 cubic inch per minute = 462 * 0.0347222 = 16.04 cubic feet per hour

Approximating to whole number, it is 16 cubic feet per hour.
