A faucet is leaking at a rate of 4.2 milliliter per minute. How many gallons of water does the faucet leak per day? Use 1 L = 0.26 gal. Explain how you solved this problem

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.57 gallons of water to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of minutes in a day = 24*60 minutes.

1 L = 0.26 gal

So 4.2 milliliters =   0.26 * 4.2 / 1000 gals.

So the number of gallons leaked in a day

= 24* 60 * (0.26*4.2) / 1000

= 1.572 gals.
