A standard showerhead in Nathan's house dispenses 11 gallons of water per minute. Nathan changed this showerhead to an energy-sa

Fynjy0 [20]

The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.

So, 3 x 8 = 24.

Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,

11 x 8 = 88

Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,

88 - 24 = 64

Nathan saved 64 gallons.
