Julie wants to find out how much water was used when taking a bath and when taking a shower. Julie found the dimensions of the tub filled with enough water to take a bath was 48 inches x 38 inches x 16 inches and that the shower uses 8.25 gallons per minute. Julie figures a shower takes on average 27 minutes. How much water does she use to take a bath. How much water does she use too take a shower.
figure inches^3 of the tub:
48*38*16=.....
now, because there are 231 inches^3 per gallon, divide the above by 231..that is the gallons in the tub.
for shower
gallons=rate*minutes
She takes much too long of a shower, in My opinion.
To find out how much water was used for taking a bath and a shower, we will first calculate the volume of water used for each activity.
Let's start with finding the volume of water used for taking a bath:
1. Convert the dimensions of the tub from inches to gallons. Since there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon:
Volume of the tub = (48 inches x 38 inches x 16 inches) / 231 cubic inches per gallon
2. Calculate the volume of water used for taking a bath:
Water used for bath = Volume of the tub (in gallons)
Now, let's calculate the volume of water used for taking a shower:
3. Multiply the shower flow rate by the duration of the shower to find the total volume of water used:
Water used for shower = 8.25 gallons/minute x 27 minutes
Finally, we have the answers:
- Julie uses "Water used for bath" gallons of water to take a bath.
- Julie uses "Water used for shower" gallons of water to take a shower.
By plugging in the values given in the question, you can determine the exact amount of water Julie uses for each activity.
