    number of gallons of water the family will use every morning = 50 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Every minutes 2.5 gallons of water flows from the shower. The amount of water disperse by the shower for every 1 minutes is 2.5 gallons. The family using the shower are 4 in numbers. And each of them spend on average of 5 minutes showering.

    Let us find how many gallons of water will flow for 5 minutes since family member spent an average of 5 minutes bathing every morning/. Therefore,

    2.5 gallons = 1 minutes

    ? gallons = 5 minutes

    cross multiply

    number of gallons of water each family member uses every morning = 2.5 * 5 = 12.5 gallons

    They are 4 family members in number since each person uses 12.5 gallons of water, 4 of them will use 4 * 12.5 = 50 gallons
