Question

An above ground swimming pool is leaking after 1 and 1/2 hours the pool has leaked 7/8 of a gallon of water how many gallons of water per hour is the swimming pool leaking

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1 hour the amount of water leaking from pool = $\frac{7}{12}$ gallon of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount of Leaking of water from the pool = $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon

The time taken fro leaking $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon of water = 1 $\frac{1}{2}$ gallon  hour

Or The time taken fro leaking $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon of water = $\frac{3}{2}$ hour

∵ $\frac{3}{2}$ hour takes for leaking $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon of water

∴ In 1 hour the amount of water leaking from pool = $\frac{7}{8}\setminus \frac{3}{2}$

Or, In 1 hour the amount of water leaking from pool = $\frac{7}{12}$ gallon of water    Answer
