Question

each minute, 8.8 quarts of water flow from a shower. if the average person spends 8.2 minutes in the shower. how many gallons of water will the average person have used after taking 5 showers​

Answer 1

90.2 gallons

Explanation:

First, find out how many quarts come from one shower; you can do this by multipling the time by the amount of quarts:

8.8 x 8.2 = 72.16

Then multiply that by 5:

72.16 x 5 = 360.8

Since you want the gallons, not quarts, you can divide this value by 4 ( since there are 4 quarts in one gallon):

360.8 / 4 = 90.2
