The unit rate is: 8/3 gallons per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Time = 15 minutes

As the unit rate has to be calculated per hour so, time has to be converted into hours

$15\ min = \frac{15}{60}\ hours\\= \frac{1}{4}\ hour$

Water leakage = 2/3 gallons

$Unit\ rate = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\= \frac{2}{3} * 4\\= \frac{8}{3}$

Hence,

The unit rate is: 8/3 gallons per hour
