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

First, we need to convert 10 minutes into hours.

10 minutes = 10/60 = 1/6 hour

Assuming Adam showers every day for a whole year (365 days), the total time he spends in the shower is:

1/6 * 365 = 60.83 hours

Now, we need to find out how much water Adam uses per minute. Let's assume he uses 10 liters of water per minute.

So, the total water used in one shower is:

10 liters/minute * 1 minute = 10 liters

And the total water used in 60.83 hours is:

10 liters * 60.83 = 608.3 liters

Therefore, Adam uses approximately 608.3 liters of water every year if he takes a 10-minute shower every day.

Converted to mL, that would be:

608.3 liters * 1000 mL/L = 608,300 mL

So, the closest option to the correct answer is 608,300 mL, which is not among the given options.

Answer 2

so choose one

Answer 3

If we have to choose from the given options, the closest one would be:

14,610 L

However, it should be noted that this answer is significantly higher than the earlier calculated value of 608.3 liters.
