How many drops of water are in a gallon?

Answer 1

Facts:

120 drops = 5mL

1 gallon = 3785 mL

* 90840 Drops in 1 Gallon

If a faucet dripped once a second how many gallons of water would it waste?

It would waste 347 Gallons of water a year!

Facts:

1 year ~ 31,536,000 seconds

24 drops in 1 mL

1 gallon/3785 mL X (1 mL/24 drops) X (1 drop/ 1 s) X (31,536,000 s/ 1 year) = 347.1598415 gallons / year

Answer 2

A gallon of water is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. One drop of water is roughly 0.05 milliliters, or 0.0016907 fluid ounces. Therefore, there are approximately 75,541 drops of water in a gallon (128 fluid ounces divided by 0.0016907 fluid ounces per drop).

Answer 3

According to the U.S.G.S. the average size of water droplet from a bathroom or kitchen faucet is about 1/4 of a milliliter (or CC), or 4,000 drops per liter; and about 0.0169 fl oz or 15,140 drops per gallon.

Some science measurements from droppers measure a drop much smaller, at 1/20th of a CC per drop, making the number of drops per gallon much higher.

20 drops/CC X 30 CC/fl oz X 128 fl oz/Gal = 76800drops/gal

In the end, it depends on the size of the drop as to how many drops there are in a gallon. For household leaks, 3-4 drops/CC is much more likely than 20-24 drops/CC that is often cited for scientific purposes.

Answer 4

Well, honey, there are approximately 7,570 drops of water in a gallon. But who's counting, right? Just remember, a gallon of water is a whole lot of drops, so don't waste 'em!

Answer 5

There are approximately 61,024 drops of water in a gallon.

Answer 6

60620 drops of water since 10 oz glass resist 4736 drops 1 gallon resist 12.8 galon of 10 oz glasses of water so no of drops of water in a gallon = 4736* 12.8 = 60620.8 drops
