Answer:   16,425   gallons are wasted a year

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out how many minutes there  are in a year then multiply it by how much oz the faucet leaks every years then convert it into gallons.

There are 525,600 minutes in a year now multiply it by 4.

525,600 * 4 = 2,102,400  So there are more than 2 million oz  wasted in a year so now convert it to gallons.

If there are 128 oz for every gallons the divide 2,102,400 by 128 to find out how many gallons are wasted a year.

2,102,400 / 128 = 16,425
