An untightened faucet drips 1.8kg water in half an hour. How many kg water does the untightened faucet drip in one minute? (solution to equation)
Set a drop of water per minute x kg,
Because half an hour is equal to 30 minutes, dripping water is 1.8 kg, 30 times of one minute in 30 minutes, so we can get the equation
30x=1.8
x=0.06
So the drop of water is 0.06kg per minute
If a broken faucet drips a drop of water every second, and every 20 drops is 1ml, what is the volume of water in one day
Seconds of a day: 60 * 60 * 24 = 86400
A total of 86400 drops were dropped
Volume: 86400 / 20 = 4320 (ML)
A dripping faucet leaks about 50 milliliters per minute. According to this rate of leakage, the faucet will leak for a year
Calculate how many minutes there are in a year, and multiply by 50 ml to get the answer
