Answer 1

Total per person = 1.76 billion ÷ 500 million = 1.76/0.5 = 3.52 gallons → rounded to one decimal: 3.5 gallons per person.

To get your class total, multiply 3.5 gallons by your class size. Examples:
- Class of 20: 20 × 3.5 = 70.0 gallons
- Class of 25: 25 × 3.5 = 87.5 gallons
- Class of 30: 30 × 3.5 = 105.0 gallons

Tell me your class size and I’ll compute the exact number.
