Gallons and cubic feet measure volume, while minutes and seconds measure time. When you measure units of volume per unit of time, you get flow rates such as cubic feet per second or gallons per minute. When converting between flow rates, you can either do it in two steps -- first the units of volume and then the units of time -- or in one shorter step that combines the two conversion factors.
