Water flows from a showerhead at a rate of 24^-1 gallons per second. How many gallons do you use when taking a 15-mintue shower? a 20- minute shower?​

15 min=37.5 gal., 20 min=50 gal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! This question can be tricky at first look. So what we’re going to do first is find 24^-1. This would be .0416 rounded to the thousandths place. We are rounding because it is a repeating decimal and it goes on forever or for a while at least. Now we know that .0416 gallons flow each second.

Next, we will multiply by 60 to find how much flows each minutes. We do this because there are 60 seconds in a minute. We then get 2.5 gallons.

We then multiple by the number of minutes which in this case is 15 and 20.

2.5x15= 37.5 gallons

2.5x20=50 gallons
