Question

Every minute,

2.2


gallons of water flows from a shower. A family of
5

people showers for an average of
9

minutes per person every morning.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: If you are trying to figure out how many gallons the whole family uses, the answer is 99 gallons.The reason is is because it says 2.2 gallons a minute and it takes 9 minutes for a shower. So you multiply 9 by 2.2 which would give you 19.8. Then you multiply it by 5 isnce it says 5 people take a shower.

Answer 2

99 gallons

Explanation:

Let as assume we need to find how many gallons of water does the family use for showering every morning.

It is given that every minute 2.2 gallons of water flows from a shower.

Total number of family members = 5

Average time of shower = 9 minutes per person every morning.

Total time of shower =
`9* 5=45` minutes

1 minute = 2.2 gallons

45 minute = 2.2 × 45 gallons

45 minute = 99 gallons

Therefore, in every morning 99 gallons of water was used by the family
