How much water does Mr. Gearside's food need to be made for the week?
Mr. Gearside's mum makes him 4 chicken tender sandwiches a week, each containing two tenders on white bread.
Mr. Gearside's girlfriend makes him 2 vegemite sandwiches on wholemeal.
Mr. Gearside makes himself a mashed potato sandwich on wholemeal which sogs in his bag all day.
Chicken tenders take 4000L per tender. Vegemite 1 serve 500L Wholemeal bread 2 slices = 1500L Mashed potato = 2000L white bread 2 slices = 600L
Chicken Tenders 8 x 4000L = 32 000
White bread 4 x 600L = 2400
Vegemite 2 x 500L = 1000
Wholemeal 2 x 1500L = 3000
Mashed potato = 2000
Wholemeal = 1500
ANSWER = 41 900
