Result: 9000

Details:

10 automatic sprinklers are used for 10 minutes over 2 sessions each day.

Each sprinkler delivers 1.5 gallons of water per minute.

Question:

What is the total amount of water utilized by the neighbor during a 30-day billing period?

Resolution:

Each sprinkler dispenses water for 20 minutes daily (10*2). In that time, every sprinkler can provide (20*1.5) or 30 gallons. With 10 sprinklers, the total is (10*30) 300 gallons per day. Over 30 days, the total water usage amounts to (30*300)9000 gallons.
