Question

. Based on your calculation in question 1 of how many gallons of water a 10-minute shower uses and your estimate in question 3 of the number of gallons of water wasted in a day by the leaky faucet, how long does it take 1 leaky faucet to waste the water needed for 1 shower? Round to the nearest day and explain your answer.

Answer 1

25 gallons of water

Explanation:

If you look at the diagram given, it states that 2.5 gallons of water are released every minute in the shower. Multiply 2.5 gallons by 10minutes and you will get your total of 25.

2.5 gallons x 10 minutes = 25 gallons of water used in a 10 minute shower
