A leaky faucet fills a 100 millimeter cup in 10 minutes.

1.how much water is wasted in a day?a week?a non leap year?
2.How long does it take to waste a kiloliter of water? (hint:1 kiloliter=1000000 milliliters)

1a. 100ml / 10min = 10ml/min.

W = 10ml/min * 60min/hr * 24hr/da =
14400ml/da.

1b. W = 14400ml/da * 7da/wk = 100800ml/wk.

1c. W = 14400ml/da * 365da/yr = 5256000 ml/yr.

2. 1000000 ml * 1/10 min/ml * 1/60 hr/min * 1/24 da/hr = 69.4 days.

To answer the questions, we need to convert the given units into the desired units and calculate accordingly. Here's how you can do it:

1. To determine how much water is wasted in a day, we need to find out the number of cups filled in a day. We know that the faucet fills a 100 millimeter cup in 10 minutes.

- Number of cups filled in a day = (24 hours/day) × (60 minutes/hour) ÷ (10 minutes/cup)
- Number of cups filled in a day = 24 × 60 ÷ 10 = 144 cups

- Amount of water wasted in a day = volume of one cup × number of cups
- Amount of water wasted in a day = 100 milliliters × 144 cups
- Amount of water wasted in a day = 14,400 milliliters

To convert milliliters into liters, divide the amount by 1000:
- Amount of water wasted in a day = 14.4 liters

For a week, we multiply the amount wasted in a day by 7:
- Amount of water wasted in a week = 14.4 liters/day × 7 days/week
- Amount of water wasted in a week = 100.8 liters

For a non-leap year, which has 365 days, we multiply the amount wasted in a day by 365:
- Amount of water wasted in a year (non-leap year) = 14.4 liters/day × 365 days/year
- Amount of water wasted in a year (non-leap year) = 5256 liters

2. To determine how long it takes to waste a kiloliter of water (1 kiloliter = 1000000 milliliters), we can calculate the time it takes to fill 1000000 milliliters using the given rate.

- Time to fill 100 milliliters = 10 minutes
- Time to fill 1000000 milliliters = (1000000 milliliters) ÷ (100 milliliters) × (10 minutes)
- Time to waste a kiloliter = 1000000 ÷ 100 × 10 minutes
- Time to waste a kiloliter = 100,000 minutes

To convert minutes into hours, divide the time by 60:
- Time to waste a kiloliter = 100,000 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour
- Time to waste a kiloliter = 1666.67 hours

Therefore, it would take approximately 1666.67 hours (or 69.4 days) to waste a kiloliter of water. Note that this calculation assumes the constant rate of the leaking faucet.
