Solution
In one hour 1 L water is wasted
So, in 1 day or 24 hours water wasted = 1 L × 24 = 24 L.
- In one day 24 L of water is wasted
So, in one week or 7 days
= 24 L × 7
= 168 L. - In one day 24 L of water is wasted
Therefore, in a month which has 30 days, water wasted
= 24 L × 30
= 720 L. - In one month 720 L of water is wasted
Therefore in one year, which has 12 months of water wasted
= 720 L × 12
= 8640 L.
