Answer:
118 billion
Explanation:
In 2005, the USGS conducted a survey to investigate water usage in the United States. The following table shows their findings.
Categories of water usage Total estimated water usage
Aquaculture 2%
Domestic 1%
Industrial 4%
Irrigation 31%
Livestock 1%
Mining 1%
Public supply 11%
Thermo electric 49%
If 3.83.83, point, 8 billion gallons of water are used for domestic use per day, approximately how many gallons of water are used for irrigation per day?
Work
3.83, point, 8 billion gallons of water are used domestically per day, which represents 1% of total estimated water usage per day.
In comparison, irrigation represents 31% of total estimated water usage per day. This means each day, irrigation uses 31 times as much water as domestic usage.
If 1% of total use is 3.83 billion, then 31% of total use is 31 times 3.83 billion.
31*3.8 billion = 118 billion (aprx)
Approximately 118 billion gallons of water are used for irrigation per day.
