Answer:
Then Maria uses 3,1 gallons /min is the user with most gallons of water per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Mike uses 120 pints of water for a 5 minutes shower
1 gallon is equal to 8 pints therefore Mike uses 120/8 gallons for a 5 minutes shower
W(mi) = 120 / 8 gallons
W(mi) = 15 gallons for a 5 minutes shower
Dad uses 100 quarts, as a gallon is equal to 4 quarts
W(d) = 100 / 4
W(d) = 25 gallons for a 10 minutes shower
And Maria
W(ma) = 24,8 gallons for an 8 minutes shower
Then:
Mike uses 15 gallons / 5 min
Mike uses 3 gallons / min
Dad uses 25 gallons / 10 minutes
Dad uses 2,5 gallons / min
Maria uses 24,8 gallons / 8 min
Maria uses 3,1 gallons /min
Then Maria uses 3,1 gallons /min is the user with most gallons of water per minute
