Well, how many minutes are there in a year? It would be way too easy to say "too many".
First, we calculate minutes in a day, which is 60 x 24 (minutes in an hour x number of hour)
This equals 1440. There are 365 days in a year, so we multiply 365 by 1440, which equals 525,600
The conversion of oz to gallon occurs, and bigger units mean division since their capacity makes the necessity for them significantly smaller; we divide 525600 by 128, and we get 4106.25.
4106.25 gallons of water are wasted in a year
Answer:
In a year 28743.75 gallons of water will be wasted.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given relation is -
1 gallon = 128 oz
Now, we have been given that a faucet leaks 7 oz of water per minute.
And we have 1440 minutes in a day. So, we have[tex]365\times1440=525600[/tex] minutes in a year.
Let us assume that there are 365 days in a year.
So, oz of water wasted in a year will be = [tex]7\times525600=3679200[/tex] oz
Converting this to gallons:
[tex]\frac{3679200}{128} =28743.75[/tex] gallons
Hence, in a year 28743.75 gallons of water will be wasted.
