Answer 1

Gallons of water are leaked in one year is 94.253 gallons

Solution:

Given that leaky faucet drips 356,755 mL of water over the course of the year

There are approximately 3,785 mL in 1 gallon.

To find: gallons of water are leaked in one year

From given information,

Amount of water leaked in one year in ml = 356,755 mL

Also given in question that,

1 gallon = 3785 ml

`1 \text{ ml} = (1)/(3785) \text{ gallons}`

Now we can convert 356,755 mL to gallons

`356,755 \text{ ml} = (1)/(3785) * 356755 \text{ gallons}\\\\356,755 \text{ ml} = 94.253 \text{ gallons}`

Thus gallons of water are leaked in one year is 94.253 gallons
