Answer 2

Answer:

$1\frac{3}{4}$ gallons of water will be leaked in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An above ground pool is leaking $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon of water in half an hour.

Therefore, amount of water leaked in one hour will be = 2 × (amount of water leaked in half an hour)

= $2\times \frac{7}{8}$

= $\frac{7}{4}$

= $1\frac{3}{4}$ gallons

Therefore, $1\frac{3}{4}$ gallons of water will be leaked in one hour.
