A faucet leaks 4 oz. of water per minute. How many gallons of water are wasted in a year? (128 oz. = 1 gallon)

  16,425   gallons are wasted a year

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out how many minutes there  are in a year then multiply it by how much oz the faucet leaks every years then convert it into gallons.

There are 525,600 minutes in a year now multiply it by 4.

525,600 * 4 = 2,102,400  So there are more than 2 million oz  wasted in a year so now convert it to gallons.

If there are 128 oz for every gallons the divide 2,102,400 by 128 to find out how many gallons are wasted a year.

2,102,400 / 128 = 16,425

c. 4 and 1/2 pounds is the answer! : )

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5
