2 People in Africa use LifeStraw. A LifeStraw can filter up to 264 gallons of water in its lifetime, which
is the equivalent of an average person’s yearly water consumption. It is built to eliminate 99.9% of
bacteria and parasites in any body of water, which ensures people don’t get sick from drinking
water.

a) How many people could be provided with a yearly supply of water if we filter the water that
is used to produce a pair of jeans for each member of your group?
b) How many people could be provided with a monthly supply of water?

7% 3.781= 264,67

6x 264,67= 1588

1,5 people yearly

12x 1,5= 18

18 monthly
