Question

It is Sunday morning and Jake has discovered he has a leak coming from the sink in his guest bathroom. Since plumbers charge to come out on the weekends. Jake is planning to use buckets to catch the dripping water. He places under the drip and step outside to walk the dog. After a 20 min walk, the bucket is 1/6 of the way full.
What is the rate at which the water is leaking per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

half a bucket/ hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 3 * 20 min

rate = 1/6 per 20 min

3 * 1 / 6 = 1 /2 = buckets per hour

cant do more with current information if youre asking for cm^3/hour or something like that
