Answer:
13,888.88 gallons per second must be pumped from the adjacent Lake Michigan every second to supply the city.
Explanation:
Gallons of water used by Chicago city in 1 day = [tex]1.2\times 10^9 gal[/tex]
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 mins

[tex]1 day=24\times 60\times 60 min = 86,400 seconds[/tex]
Gallons of water used by Chicago city in 86,400 seconds :
= [tex]1.2\times 10^9 gal[/tex]
Gallons of water used by Chicago city in 1 second:
[tex]\frac{1.2\times 10^9 gal}{86,400}=13,888.88 gal[/tex]
13,888.88 gallons per second must be pumped from the adjacent Lake Michigan every second to supply the city.
