Question

If faucet is dripping at a rate of one drop per second and each drop contains 0.150 milliliters. Calculate how much water will be lost in 1 year.

Answer 1

Number of seconds in a year, N
= 365*24*60*60 seconds/year

Volume of one drop, v
= 0.15 ml/second

Water lost in a year
= N * v ml/year

Answer 2

1. If a faucet is dripping at a rate of one drop per second, and each drop contains 0.05 ml (milliliters), calculate how much water (in liters) will be lost in one year. (write your calculation out, a single number answer is not acceptable)

Answer 3

473000 litres
