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

Answer:

a = 16 and b = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, so

CD = AB , that is

3a - 10 = 2a + 6 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

a - 10 = 6 ( add 10 to both sides )

a = 16

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so

AO = CO , that is

2b = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

b = 13

meriva

Answer:

6.224  x 10^3 Hope this helped out :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the  

10 .If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

then you end up getting  6.224  x 10^3
