Question

You observe a pipe leaking water at the rate of 1.43 US gallons per minute. Because you have a sense of humor, you convert this rate to sovereigns per Martian year (a sovereign is a really, really big bottle of wine). Use the information below to do the conversion:

1 standard wine bottle = 0.75 liters

1 sovereign wine bottle = 67 standard wine bottles

1 US gallon = 3.785 liters

1 Earth year = 365 days

1 Martian year = 1.88 Earth years

Round to the nearest sovereign/Martian year; enter units (s/MY); do not use scientific notation; do not use comas or spaces when entering large numbers.

Explanation / Answer

Ans:-

Here simply conversion 1.43 US gallons per minute to sovereigns per Martian year

First convert sovereigns

Use this

1 standard wine bottle = 0.75 liters

1 sovereign wine bottle = 67 standard wine bottles

1 US gallon = 3.785 liters

1.43US gallons = 1.43*3.785 liters =5.41255liters

Now 1 standard wine bottle = 0.75 liters

Standard wine bottle = 5.41255/0.75 = 7.217

1 sovereign wine bottle = 67 standard wine bottles

sovereign wine bottle = 7.217/67 = 0.1077sovereigns…………………1

Now convert Martian year

1min/60min = 0.016666h

0.016666h/24h = 6.944*10^-4day

6.944*10^-4day/365day =1.9*10^-6year

1 Martian year = 1.88Earth year

Martian year= 1.9*10^-6 earth year /1.88Earth year =1.012*10^-6Martian year……………………2

Combine 1 and2 we get

0.1077sovereigns/1.012*10^-6Martian year

= 106421.39sovereigns /Martian year

1.43 US gallons per minute =106421.39sovereigns /Martian year
