5. You return home for a long weekend and your mother informs
you that they have a water leak from the upstairs bath tub. With
your new found knowledge of fluid flow, you want to determine
how many gallons your parents are wasting each month. So you
place a container (capacity in Cell B51)under the drip and start the
stop watch. You randomly check it several times and mark the
time when the container is full. According to the table below,
what is the average loss in gallons per month (cell B54)?
Time
Hours Min Sec
14 8 30
