45 gallons of water used per person each month
Solution:
Given that,
The town of new London uses about 2,750,000 gallons of water each month
The population of new London is approximately 61,000
To find: Number of gallons of water used per person each month
From given,
Total gallons of water each month = 2750000
Population = 61000
Therefore,
[tex]Gallons\ of\ water\ per\ person = \frac{\text{Total gallons of water each month}}{population}[/tex]
[tex]Gallons\ of\ water\ per\ person = \frac{2750000}{61000}\\\\Gallons\ of\ water\ per\ person = \frac{2750}{61}\\\\Gallons\ of\ water\ per\ person =45.08 \approx 45[/tex]
Thus 45 gallons of water used per person each month
