How many seconds in a week?
It's simple:
7days * 24hours * 60minutes * 60seconds
If one drop falls within two seconds, half a drop per second:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*7*24*60*60=302400[/tex] drops fall within a week.

Answer:

30,2400 drops

Step-by-step explanation:

The faucet in Kim's kitchen drips at a rate for 1 drop every 2 seconds.

In one hour = 3600  seconds

in one week = 168 hours

In one week = 3600 × 168 = 60,4800 seconds

The faucet drips 1 drop in 2 seconds

Therefore, faucet drips in a week = [tex]\frac{604800}{2}[/tex]

                                                       = 30,2400 drops
