Calculate the average discharge of the Mississippi River at New Orleans (in cubic feet per second) given the following parameters: (show your work)

Average velocity: 2.5 miles per hour Average width: 2,000 feet Average depth: 90 feet

Discharge = velocity (/) x river width (ft) x river depth (ft)

*Remember, you will need to convert miles-per-hour to feet-per-second to obtain the proper units for discharge (ft³/). There are 5,280 feet in a mile.
