    Assuming everyone in the family showers only once a day,

    Time taken by 1 person to shower = 11*60+15 = 675 seconds

    Time taken by 5 people = 5*675 = 3,375 s

    Time taken by the family in a week = 7*3,375 = 23,625 s

    amount of water used in a week =

    23,625 / (10*60) = 39.375 = 40 liters
