Given:
Leaking rate = 0.25 cups per hour
Time = 24 hour
Determine how many gallons was leaked.
1 gallon = 16 cups.
Solution:
Multiply 0.25 cups by 24.
= (0.25 cups per hour)(24 hour)
= 6 cups
=(6 cups) (1 gallon/16 cups)
The unit cups cancels.
= 6 gallon/ 16
= 0.375 gallons
0.375 gallons was leaked in a full 24 hour day.
