Question

A toilet is leaking at the rate of 1 fluid ounces per minute. How many gallons is

the toilet leaking per hour?
O 0.47 gal/hr
O 0.94 gal/hr
O 28.13 gal/hr
O 2.13 gal/hr

Answer 1

1 gallon (gal) = 128 fluid ounce (fl oz)

1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min)

Convert 1 fl oz/min to gal/hr.

`(1\,\rm fl.oz)/(1\,\rm min) * (1\,\rm gal)/(128\,\rm fl.oz) * (60\,\rm min)/(1\,\rm hr) = (60)/(128) (\rm gal)/(\rm hr) \approx \boxed{0.47 (\rm gal)/(\rm hr)}`
