Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total gallons pumped in 24 hours

Since (1) hour has (60) minutes, in (24) hours, the number of minutes is (24\times60 = 1440) minutes. The pump rate is (3000) gallons per minute (gpm). So the total gallons pumped (V=3000\times1440) gallons.

Step2: Calculate per - capita wastewater

The community has (N = 27000) people. The per - capita wastewater (q=\frac{3000\times1440}{27000}) [ \begin{align*} q&=\frac{3000\times1440}{27000}\ &=\frac{3000}{27000}\times1440\ &=\frac{1}{9}\times1440\ & = 160\space\text{gpd/cap} \end{align*} ]

Answer:

A. (160\space\text{gpd/cap})
