Question

A pipe is leaking at the rate of 16 fluid ounces per minute. Use unit analysis to find out how many gallons the pipe is leaking per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 7.5 gallons per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 fluid ounces multiplied by 60 minutes equals 960 fluid ounces

16 * 60 = 960

960 fluid ounces divided by 128 fluid ounces (which is 1 gallon) equals 7.5 gallons.

960 / 128 + 7.5

So the answer is 7.5 gallons per hour.
