How many gallons per day does 1 gallon per minute equate to?

• A. 720 gallons
• B. 1200 gallons
• C. 1440 gallons
• D. 1680 gallons

Answer: (C)

To determine how many gallons per day 1 gallon per minute equates to, we need to calculate the total flow rate over a 24-hour period. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can start by calculating how many gallons flow in one hour: 1 gallon/minute × 60 minutes/hour = 60 gallons/hour. Next, we can find out how many gallons flow in a full day (24 hours): 60 gallons/hour × 24 hours/day = 1440 gallons/day. This calculation shows that if 1 gallon is flowing every minute, over the course of a day, it accumulates to 1440 gallons. Thus, the correct answer is that 1 gallon per minute equates to 1440 gallons per day.
