Question

f a faucet drips at the rate of a drop every 2 seconds and it takes 575 drops to fill a 100-ml bottle, how many liters of water are wasted in a week? (Round your final answer to the nearest liter)

Answer 1

No. of days in a week = 7
No. of hrs in a week = 24 * 7
= 168 hrs
No. of min. in a week = 168 * 60
= 10080 mins
No. of seconds in a week = 10080 * 60
= 604800 seconds
604800/2 = 302400
302400/575 = 526
526 * 100 = 52600 ml
So amt. of water wasted = 52600 ml
= 52.6 l(this is an approximation - the actual value of 302400/575 is 525.9)
