A leaky faucet drips 1 fluid ounce every 30 seconds. How many gallons of water will leak from this faucet in 1 day? Round your answer to the nearest gallon

Calculate t he number of fluid ounces per day:

1 fluid ounce every 30 seconds = 2 fl. oz every minute.

2 x 60 = 120 fl. oz. per hour.

120 x 24 = 2880 fl. oz per day

Now convert fluid ounces to gallons:

1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces.

2880 fluid ounces / 128 = 22.5 gallons per day.
