Answer:


(1)/(24) gallons.

Explanation:

It is given in the question that Nor uses 1/16 gallons of fuel in one and half hours i.e.
(3)/(2) hours.

If the rate of consumption of fuel remains the same then we will use the Unitary method to find how many gallons of fuel the lawnmower uses in one hour.

Therefore, the required consumption of the fuel in one hour will be
(2)/(16*3) =
(1)/(24) gallons. (Answer)
