Question

help please!
Suppose water flows out of a shower at a rate of .32 cubic feet per minute. Do you use more water by taking a 12-minute shower or by filling the bathtub with .4 cubic yards of water, and by how much?

Answer 1

You need to figure out how much water a 12 minute shower would take. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

The shower uses .32 cubic feet per minute (given by problem) How many cubic feet is that for 12 minutes?

Answer 3

After you calculate that, convert cubic feet to cubic yards and compare with the bath tub amount of .4 cubic yd.

Answer 4

Please show your work and I will verify it for you.
