a leaky faucet fills a 100 milileter cup in 10 min. how much water is wasted in a day, week and year???? how long does it take to wast a kiloliter of water????

Question

anonymous · Answer

100 ml in 10 min = 10 ml/m * 60 m / h * 24 h/d = 14,400 ml in a day

14400 * 7 d/w = 100,800 ml in a week

100,800 * 52 w / y = 5,241,600 ml in a year

to waste one kilometer would be to waste ONE MILLION ML.

100,800 in one week, so if X = # of weeks, we have

100800*X = 1,000,000

x = 9.92 weeks

m = minutes
