Answer:

The rate is \frac{1}{6} cups per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It took the faucet 1 1/2 hours, i.e 1.5 or 3/2 hours to fill 1/4 cup by leaking

We need to find the rate in terms of cups that can be filled by water in 1 hour.

Using unitary method:

If it takes \frac{3}{2} h for \frac{1}{4} cup;

then it will take 1 h for how many cups?

= \frac{1 \times \frac{1}{4} }{\frac{3}{2} }

= \frac{2}{4 \times 3}

= \frac{2}{12}

= \frac{1}{6} cups

Therefore, the rate is \frac{1}{6} cups per hour
