Answer:

Total water wasted per month = 800 quarts

Explanation:

A leaky faucet wastes 2,400 gallons of water per year.

Total water wasted per year = 2,400 gallons

Total water wasted per month
=(2400)/(12)=200\texttt{ gallons}

Given that 1 gallon = 4 quarts

That is

Total water wasted per month = 200 gallons = 200 x 4 = 800 quarts.

Total water wasted per month = 800 quarts
