Step-by-step explanation: If you are trying to figure out how many gallons the whole family uses, the answer is 99 gallons.The reason is is because it says 2.2 gallons a minute and it takes 9 minutes for a shower. So you multiply 9 by 2.2 which would give you 19.8. Then you multiply it by 5 isnce it says 5 people take a shower.
