Answer:

The shower uses less water

Step-by-step explanation:

In 12min the shower will use:

Shower = 1.75 gallons/min * 12min = <em>21</em> gallons of water

The bathtub at full capacity will store approximately:

Full Bathtub = 5*4*3 = 60ft^3 * 7.5 gallons/ft^3 = 450 gallons of water.

Since the tub is half-full, it will use:

Half Bathtub = <em>225 </em>gallons of water. A lot more than the shower.

jamal completed his math homework in 2/3 of an hour and his reading homework in 3/5 of an hour. How much time did it take him to
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: We have to add how much time it took him to do all of his homework. To do this, we have to add 2/3 and 3/5.

First, we have to find a LCM between 3 and 5.

The LCM between those numbers are 15.

Next we find out what number to multiply 3 by to get 15, we multiply it by 5.

2 * 5 = 10

3 * 5 = 15

Next we find out what number to multiply 5 by to get 15, we multiply it by 3.

3 * 3 = 9

5 * 3 = 15

10/15+9/15=19/15

We are left off with 1 4/15

So it took him 1 hour and 4/15 minutes to do his homework.
