depends on what's drawing the water. you can get a good tub of hot water with one 40 gal heater.

It depends on the size of the water heater and what is running. At my house, the water heater funs out pretty fast if someone is in the shower and I run the dishwasher and washing machine at the same time.

Most faucets run at a rate at 2.5 gallons per minutes. So a 20 minute shower will use 40-50 gallons of hot water if you mix the temp of the water.
