Answer:
Family will save 3600 gallons of water by replacing the shower-heads.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of family members in a family = 5
Each member of the family averages shower per day = 8 minutes
Total time for shower = 5×8 = 40 minutes
With a 5 gallon shower-heads each member will use water in a day = 5×40 = 200 gallons
Water consumption in 30 days = 200×30 = 6000 gallons per month
After replacing the shower-heads with 2 gallons per minute shower-heads family will use the amount of water = 40×2= 80 gallons per day
Water used in one month = 80×30 = 2400 gallons
Now water save by the family in 30-day period = 6000 - 2400 = 3600 gallons
Therefore, family will use 3600 gallons less water by replacing the water saving water heads.
