E) Propose two word problems. 

Problems: 

-  If in one minute I spent 5000 ml and I spent 15 minutes washing the dishes how many cubic meters I would spent in 1 day?

-   If I spent 20 cubic meters of water in one month, how many cubic meters I would spend in one day.

Answers: 

-  5000 multiply it by 15 = 75000 by 3= 225000ml . That would be 0.225 cubic meters.
- 20/30 = 0.6666666 cubic meters so that would be 666666.6 ml

2. In the bathroom, using the toilet is an activity that consumes a lot of water. Every time we flush the toilet we spend between 10 and 15 liters, depending on the capacity of the instrument. Think about the "flushing frequency " along one day.

B) How long does it take to brush your teeth? How much water you spend?

Answer:
 To brush my teeth I take 53 seconds and if in one minute  I spend 5000ml I have to divide that by 60 and it would give me 83.333333ml per second so we multiply that by 53 and it would give me 4416.6666 ml. That much water I spent washing my teeth.

C) How many times a day you brush your teeth? 

Answer:

  In one day I brush my teeth 3 times, in the morning, the afternoon, and night. 

D) How long does it take to wash your hands? How much water you spend?

Answer:
  To wash my hands it takes me 42 seconds. To see the amount of water we multiply 83.333333 by 42 because 83.333333 is the amount of ml in one second. It would give us 3499.9999 ml. That is the answer of how much water I spend.
