a shower has a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute. if a person takes an average of six showers per week, and the average length of a shower is 15 minutes, then how much water is used in a year?

Respuesta :

105300 gallons of water are used in a year.

What is Flow rate?

The volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q.

Here given flow rate = 1.5 gallons

water consumed in 1 shower of 15 minutes =  1.5×15=22.5

Number of minutes spent in the shower in a week = 15×6=90

Gallons used per week =  22.5×90=2025

There is 52 weeks in a year.

52×2025 = 105300

Thus, 105300 gallons of water are used in a year.
