12. How much water does Adam use every year if taking a 10 minute shower a day?

Question

*
4,000 mL
40,000 mL
14,610 L
40 L

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of water Adam uses every year, we need to convert the shower time from minutes to liters (L).

First, we need to find the water usage per shower. Assuming a flow rate of 9 liters per minute for the shower:

Water usage per shower = 10 minutes * 9 L/minute = 90 L

Next, we need to find the number of showers in a year. Assuming there are 365 days in a year:

Number of showers in a year = 365 days * 1 shower/day = 365 showers

Finally, we can calculate the total water usage in a year:

Water usage per year = Number of showers in a year * Water usage per shower
= 365 showers * 90 L/shower
= 32,850 L

Therefore, Adam uses approximately 32,850 liters of water every year if taking a 10-minute shower every day.
