Question
You will be in your fallout shelter for at least THREE (3) days.
There are going to be four (4) of you and one (1) pet.
You are going to need about 3.2 quarts (qts) of water per day/per person.
Don't forget about your pet!
~Dogs need 1 ounce (oz.) of water for every pound they weigh (10 lbs.=10 oz. water).
~Cats need about 3.5 oz. of water for every 5 pounds they weight (10 lbs.=7 oz. water).
How much water will you need to have in your fallout shelter for the 3 days for 4 people and 1 pet?
If you are including a pet, you must indicate what kind and how much it weighs. You must also indicate if you will not have a pet with you.
Don’t forget to list the units (quarts)!

To determine the total amount of water needed for 4 people and 1 pet over 3 days, we will calculate the amount of water for the individuals first, followed by the pet.
### Step 1: Calculate Water for People
- **Water needed per person per day:** 3.2 quarts
- **Number of people:** 4
- **Duration:** 3 days
Total water needed for people:
\[
\text{Water for people} = 3.2 \, \text{quarts/person/day} \times 4 \, \text{people} \times 3 \, \text{days}
\]
\[
\text{Water for people} = 3.2 \times 4 \times 3 = 38.4 \, \text{quarts}
\]
### Step 2: Calculate Water for Pet
Let's assume you have a **dog** that weighs **20 pounds**.
- **Water needed for dog:** 1 oz. per pound
\[
\text{Water for dog} = 20 \, \text{pounds} \times 1 \, \text{oz/pound} = 20 \, \text{oz}
\]
Convert ounces to quarts:
\[
\text{Water for dog} = \frac{20 \, \text{oz}}{32 \, \text{oz/quart}} = 0.625 \, \text{quarts}
\]
### Step 3: Total Water Calculation
Add the water needed for people and the pet:
\[
\text{Total water} = \text{Water for people} + \text{Water for dog}
\]
\[
\text{Total water} = 38.4 \, \text{quarts} + 0.625 \, \text{quarts} = 39.025 \, \text{quarts}
\]
### Conclusion
You will need a total of **39.025 quarts** of water for 3 days for 4 people and 1 dog weighing 20 pounds.
### Step 1: Calculate Water for People
- **Water needed per person per day:** 3.2 quarts
- **Number of people:** 4
- **Duration:** 3 days
Total water needed for people:
\[
\text{Water for people} = 3.2 \, \text{quarts/person/day} \times 4 \, \text{people} \times 3 \, \text{days}
\]
\[
\text{Water for people} = 3.2 \times 4 \times 3 = 38.4 \, \text{quarts}
\]
### Step 2: Calculate Water for Pet
Let's assume you have a **dog** that weighs **20 pounds**.
- **Water needed for dog:** 1 oz. per pound
\[
\text{Water for dog} = 20 \, \text{pounds} \times 1 \, \text{oz/pound} = 20 \, \text{oz}
\]
Convert ounces to quarts:
\[
\text{Water for dog} = \frac{20 \, \text{oz}}{32 \, \text{oz/quart}} = 0.625 \, \text{quarts}
\]
### Step 3: Total Water Calculation
Add the water needed for people and the pet:
\[
\text{Total water} = \text{Water for people} + \text{Water for dog}
\]
\[
\text{Total water} = 38.4 \, \text{quarts} + 0.625 \, \text{quarts} = 39.025 \, \text{quarts}
\]
### Conclusion
You will need a total of **39.025 quarts** of water for 3 days for 4 people and 1 dog weighing 20 pounds.
