Afaucet drips at a rate of 1 drop per every second. determine how many liters of water are wasted per year.

ANSWER:  

A faucet drips at a rate of 1 drop per every second.Number of liters wasted are 1576.6 liters.

SOLUTION:

Given, a faucet drips at a rate of 1 drop per every second.

We need to find how many liters of water are wasted per year.

Now, let us find how many seconds are there for an year.

1 year = 365 days[ consider non – leap year]

= 365 24 hours

= 365 24 60 minutes

= 365 24 60 60 seconds

= 31,536,000 seconds

Therefore number of drops wasted per year = 1 31,536,000 seconds

No. of drops = 31,536,000. But we are asked how many liters.

No. of liters = [when 1 liter = 20,000drops]

No. of liters = 1576.6 liters

Hence, number of liters wasted are 1576.6 liters.
