    32.24 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    From the question, Jed's shower head releases

    6.2 gallons = 1 minute

    x gallon = 5 mins 12 secs

    First convert 12 secs to minutes and add it to 5 mins.

    1 minute = 60secs

    x minute = 12 secs

    x = 12/60

    = 0.2 mins + 5 mins

    = 5.2 mins

    Therefore,

    6.2 gallons = 1 minute

    x gallons = 5.2 mins

    Cross multiply

    x = 6.2 x 5.2 / 1

    = 32.24/1

    = 32.24 gallons
