Question

the bellah's pool is leaking. The pool leaked 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes, or 1/3 hour. how many gallon is the pool leaking each hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

9/4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate is 3/4 gallon per 1/3 of an hour, we need to figure out how to make the 1/3 into 1 hour.

Since it's 1/3, you have to multiply it by 3 to get 1. So, multiply 1/3 and 3/4 by 3:

The rate will be 3(3/4) gallons per 3(1/3) hour

The rate will be 9/4 gallons per 1 hour

Hope that helps! :D
