Answer:
A leaky faucet wastes water is 1,200 quarts/month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A leaky faucet wastes 3,600 gallons of water per year.
[1 gallon = 4 quarts]
To find : How many quarts of water are wasted per month.
Solution : We have given that
A leaky faucet wastes water in 1 year = 3600 gallons.
We know that 1 year = 12 month
1 gallon = 4 quarts.
Then equation become
A leaky faucet wastes water in 12 months = 3600 *4 = 14400 quarts.
A leaky faucet wastes water in 12 months = 14400 quarts.
A leaky faucet wastes water in 1 months = [tex]\frac{14400}{12}[/tex].
A leaky faucet wastes water in 1 months = 1200 quarts.
Therefore, A leaky faucet wastes water is 1,200 quarts/month.
