If a faucet leaks 7 oz of water per minute, how many gallons of water are wasted in a year? (128 oz/gallon)

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

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 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 = oz

Converting this to gallons:

gallons

Hence, in a year 28743.75 gallons of water will be wasted.

95.03 is the answer. hope this !
