Karen wanted to find out how much waster was used when taking a bath and when taking a show. Karen found the dimensions of the tub filled with enough water to take a bath was 1.7 meters x 1 meters x 0.46meters and that the shower uses 5075 liters per minute. Karen figures a shower takes on average 16 minutes. How much water does Karen use to take a bath. How much water does Karen use to take a shower
Volume of tub = 1.7(1)(.46) = .782 m^3
5075 L per minute for a shower????
A quick google gave me about 8 L per minute for an average shower
volume of shower for 16 minutes
= 5075(16) litres. ??? (fix that)
1 m^3 = 100^3 cm^3 = 1000 L
so .782 m^3 = 782 L
Once you have the correct rate for the shower, follow my steps and compare
To find out how much water Karen uses to take a bath, we need to calculate the volume of the tub.
The volume of a rectangular tub can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the tub are given as 1.7 meters (length) x 1 meter (width) x 0.46 meters (height) = 0.7822 cubic meters.
Since 1 cubic meter is equivalent to 1000 liters, the volume of water used for a bath is 0.7822 cubic meters x 1000 liters/cubic meter = 782.2 liters.
Now let's calculate how much water Karen uses to take a shower. The shower uses 5075 liters per minute, and Karen takes a shower for an average of 16 minutes.
Therefore, the total volume of water used for a shower is 5075 liters/minute x 16 minutes = 81200 liters.
So, Karen uses 782.2 liters of water to take a bath and 81200 liters of water to take a shower.
