Project #6

WATER/TIME COMPARISONS This project is incredibly unique. There is no right, or wrong answer and you will not be graded on the correctness of your answer. However, you will be graded on identifying the assumptions that you will need to make, the calculations once the assumptions are made, the correct conversions where needed, and presentation of the logic of how you arrived at your answer. PROBLEM NUMBER 1 During a one-year time period, how many gallons of water would the average household save by using an efficiency washer vs a regular washer? Is this one-year savings more or less than the amount of water an average person drinks in a lifetime? Explain and show your assumptions, calculations, and conversions. Consider it to be 2 separate problems: 1. How much water is saved in a y period when using an efficiency washer vs regular washer - answer based on your assumptions and calculations for full credit 2. How much water does an average person drink in a lifetime arrive at this answer based on your assumptions and calculations 3. Compare the answers to those 2 questions to arrive at your conclusion Below are 2 pieces of information that you might find helpful there are 128 oz in a gallon there are 365 days in a year and also 52 weeks in a year
