Answer:

In a year 28743.75 gallons of water will be wasted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given relation is -

1 gallon = 128 oz

Now, we have been given that a faucet leaks 7 oz of water per minute.

And we have 1440 minutes in a day. So, we have365\times1440=525600 minutes in a year.

Let us assume that there are 365 days in a year.

So, oz of water wasted in a year will be = 7\times525600=3679200 oz

Converting this to gallons:

\frac{3679200}{128} =28743.75 gallons

Hence, in a year 28743.75 gallons of water will be wasted.

Well, how many minutes are there in a year? It would be way too easy to  say "too many".

First, we calculate minutes in a day, which is 60 x 24 (minutes in an hour x number of hour)

This equals 1440. There are 365 days in a year, so we multiply 365 by 1440, which equals 525,600

The conversion of oz to gallon occurs, and bigger units mean division since their capacity makes the necessity for them significantly smaller; we divide 525600 by 128, and we get 4106.25.

4106.25 gallons of water are wasted in a year

Simplify -9(1-10n) - 2(3n+9)
agasfer [191]

Answer:

3 (28 n - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-9 (1 - 10 n) - 2 (3 n + 9)

-9 (1 - 10 n) = 90 n - 9:

90 n - 9 - 2 (3 n + 9)

-2 (3 n + 9) = -6 n - 18:

90 n + -6 n - 18 - 9

Grouping like terms, 90 n - 6 n - 18 - 9 = (90 n - 6 n) + (-9 - 18):

(90 n - 6 n) + (-9 - 18)

90 n - 6 n = 84 n:

84 n + (-9 - 18)

-9 - 18 = -27:

84 n + -27

Factor 3 out of 84 n - 27:

Answer: 3 (28 n - 9)
