How much water does Adam use every year if taking a 10 minute shower a day?

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of water Adam uses for a daily 10-minute shower, we need to know the average flow rate of a showerhead.

The flow rate can vary, but a commonly used figure is about 2.1 gallons per minute (gpm) for a typical showerhead.

1. Daily Water Usage: \[ \text{Daily Water Usage} = \text{Shower Duration (minutes)} \times \text{Flow Rate (gpm)} \] \[ \text{Daily Water Usage} = 10 \text{ minutes} \times 2.1 \text{ gpm} = 21 \text{ gallons} \]

2. Annual Water Usage: \[ \text{Annual Water Usage} = \text{Daily Water Usage} \times \text{Number of Days in a Year} \] \[ \text{Annual Water Usage} = 21 \text{ gallons} \times 365 \text{ days} = 7,665 \text{ gallons} \]

So, if Adam showers for 10 minutes every day, he uses approximately 7,665 gallons of water per year.

Answer 2

how about ML

Answer 3

To convert gallons to milliliters (mL), we can use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is approximately equal to 3,785.41 milliliters.

From our previous calculation, we found that Adam uses approximately 7,665 gallons of water per year.

Now, let's convert that to milliliters:

\[ \text{Annual Water Usage (mL)} = \text{Annual Water Usage (gallons)} \times 3,785.41 , \text{mL/gallon} \]

\[ \text{Annual Water Usage (mL)} = 7,665 , \text{gallons} \times 3,785.41 , \text{mL/gallon} \approx 29,091,760.65 , \text{mL} \]

So, Adam uses approximately 29,091,761 mL of water per year when taking a 10-minute shower every day.

Answer 4

how about L

Answer 5

To convert gallons to liters (L), we can use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is approximately equal to 3.78541 liters.

From our previous calculation, we found that Adam uses approximately 7,665 gallons of water per year.

Now let's convert that to liters:

\[ \text{Annual Water Usage (L)} = \text{Annual Water Usage (gallons)} \times 3.78541 , \text{L/gallon} \]

\[ \text{Annual Water Usage (L)} = 7,665 , \text{gallons} \times 3.78541 , \text{L/gallon} \approx 29,091.76 , \text{L} \]

So, Adam uses approximately 29,091.76 liters of water per year when taking a 10-minute shower every day.
