Question

A dripping faucet loses about 2.5×10−42.5×10^−4 liters of water each minute. There are approximately 3×1053×10^5 minutes in a month. About how many liters of water are lost because of the dripping faucet in a month? Drag and drop the values to the boxes to express the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

For this case we can start from the definition of the flow.
 Flow rate is defined as the quotient between volume and time.
 So, we have
 Q = V / t
 By clearing the volume, we have:
 V = Q * t
 Substituting the values.
 V = ((2.5 * 10 ^ -42.5) * (10 ^ -4)) * ((3 * 10 ^ 53) * (10 ^ 5))
 V = 2.37E + 12
 answer
 Approximately 2.37E + 12 liters of water are lost due to the dripping faucet every month.
