Fixtures & Water Heaters第 65 / 120 题
A building owner replaces 40 old 3.5 gpf water closets with 1.28 gpf high efficiency models. If the fixtures are flushed a combined total of 2,000 times per day, how much water is saved per day?
a.2,560 gallons
b.3,500 gallons
c.5,120 gallons
d.4,440 gallons
解析
The savings per flush is 3.5 minus 1.28, or 2.22 gallons, and 2.22 times 2,000 flushes equals 4,440 gallons per day. 2,560 gallons is 1.28 times 2,000, the new consumption rather than the savings. 5,120 and 3,500 gallons come from doubling the new usage or from using the old flush volume alone, neither of which is a difference calculation.
