Assume that when you take a bath, you fill a tub to the halfway point and the tub measures 6 feet by 3 feet by 2.5 feet. When you take a shower, you use a shower head with a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute and you typically spend 8 minutes in the shower. There are 7.5 gallons in one cubic foot.

(b) How many gallons of water are used in the shower? (Report your answer to the nearest tenth.)
(c) How many hours would you need to shower in order to use as much water as you use taking a bath? (Report your answer to the nearest tenth.)
