Answer:

B)13 pints

Explanation:

SO first we find the unit rate

We know that in 90 minutes (hour and a half), the water leaked 6 pints form 2;30 to 4

Now So we can divide to find unit rate

6/90=1/15

So 1 pint for every 15 minutes

And now we want to know the amount it takes from 2:30 to 6:30 which is 4 hours

40 hours is 240 minutes

SO we can divide now

240/15=16

SO 16 pints leaked but the question asked for remaining water in container

So 29-16 is 13

So B)13
