Question

your water hose is leaking at a rate of 0.25 cups per hour how many gallons did your hose leak in a full 24 hour day

Answer 1

First I found it was leaking 1 cup every 4 hours then I found out that it leaked 6 cups that day and I found out that there's 16 cups in a gallon so converted 6 cups into gallons and got 0.375 of a gallon
$.25 \times 4 = 1 \\ 24 \div 4 = 6 \\ 4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 \\6 \div 16 =0.375$
