Answer 2

Given: The amount of water saved if a person's daily shower is cut by 2 minutes = 1825 gallons per year

To find: a. How many gallons per day is that?

b. How many gallons are saved daily if all the members of a family of five cut their shower by 2 minutes? How many gallons a year is that?

Solution:

a. We assume there are 365 days in a year.

Therefore, the amount of water saved per day if a person's daily shower is cut by 2 minutes = 1825/365 gallons

                     = 5 gallons.

b. If all the members of a family of five cut their shower by 2 minutes, the amount of water saved daily = (5 × 5) gallons

                                                = 25 gallons.

Now, the number of gallons of water saved per year in this case

= 365 × 25 = 9125.

Answer: a. 5 gallons

              b. 25 gallons, 9125
