The total change in the water in the pool after 2 1/2 hours given the rate of leakage is -3 1/8,
<h3>What are fractions?</h3>
A fraction is a non-integer. It is made up of numerators and denominators. A mixed fraction is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. An example is 2 1/2.
<h3>What is the total change in the water?</h3>
The total change in the water = -1 1/4 x 2 1/2
= -5/4 x 5/2 = -25/8 = -3 1/8

The percentage would be 51% but if you want to round it the answer is 50%
Call the number : x
(1/3)x + 5 = x-6
=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6
=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.
Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2
33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)
24 = -v/3 (first you multiply 3 to each side)
<u>×3 ×3</u>
<u />72 = -v (then you divide -1 from each side)
-72 = v<u><u /></u><u />
