To calculate the amount of water used by Adam in a year, we need to know the flow rate of his showerhead. On average, standard showerheads have a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM).
Given that Adam takes a 10-minute shower each day, we can calculate the amount of water used per shower:
10 minutes/shower * 2.5 gallons/minute = 25 gallons/shower
Since Adam showers every day, we can multiply the amount of water used per shower by the number of days in a year to get the annual water usage:
25 gallons/shower * 365 days/year = 9,125 gallons/year
Therefore, if Adam takes a 10-minute shower daily using a standard showerhead with 2.5 GPM, he would use approximately 9,125 gallons of water per year.
Bot how much water does Adam use every year if taking a 10-minute shower a day?
