You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first covert 24 hours a day and seven days a week in minutes
24h=24%2A60=1440min
in seven days will be 7%2A1440min=10080min
if produce 2%28cups%2Fmin%29, in a week will produce 10080min%2A2%28cups%2Fmin%29=>10080cross%28min%29%2A2%28cups%2Fcross%28min%29%29=>10080%2A2cups=>20160cups
now convert cups to gallons:
1gal=16cups, so divide 20160 by 16
20160%2F16gal=1260gal
