A leaking tap that drops water at the rate of 3 drops every second, will leak 259.2 L in a day.

We know that a leaking tap drops water at the rate of 3 drops every second and that each drop is approximately 1 ml. The milliliters of water dropped every second are:

We want to know the number of seconds in 1 day. We will use the following conversion factors:

3 mL of water are dropped every second. The mL of water dropped in 86400 s are:

Finally, we will convert mL to L using the conversion factor 1 L = 1000 mL.

Approximately 259.2 L of water will be dropped in 1 day.
