I am unable to figure it out. Please help!

the flow rate for several household ate shown in the table. based on this data. an eight min period.how much more water would a washinh machine deliver than a showerhead?
table:
bath spigot 5 ;
kitchen faucet 2.5;
washing machine 1.7;
showerhead 0.8

(1.7*8) - (.8*8) = ?

1987+88*20=

To find out how much more water a washing machine would deliver than a showerhead during an eight-minute period, we need to determine the flow rate for each device and then calculate the difference.

The flow rate represents the volume of water that is delivered per unit of time. In this case, the flow rates are given in gallons per minute (GPM) for different household devices.

Based on the table you provided, the flow rates are as follows:
- Bath spigot: 5 GPM
- Kitchen faucet: 2.5 GPM
- Washing machine: 1.7 GPM
- Showerhead: 0.8 GPM

To calculate how much more water the washing machine delivers than the showerhead during an eight-minute period, we can use the following steps:

1. Calculate the total volume of water delivered by each device in eight minutes by multiplying the flow rate by the number of minutes:
- Bath spigot: 5 GPM * 8 minutes = 40 gallons
- Kitchen faucet: 2.5 GPM * 8 minutes = 20 gallons
- Washing machine: 1.7 GPM * 8 minutes = 13.6 gallons
- Showerhead: 0.8 GPM * 8 minutes = 6.4 gallons

2. Calculate the difference between the volume of water delivered by the washing machine and the showerhead:
Washing machine volume - Showerhead volume = 13.6 gallons - 6.4 gallons = 7.2 gallons

Therefore, the washing machine would deliver 7.2 gallons more water than the showerhead during an eight-minute period.
