Question

An above ground swimming pool is leaking after 1 and 1/2 hours the pool has leaked 7/8 of a gallon of water how many gallons of water per hour is the swimming pool leaking

Answer 1

In 1 hour the amount of water leaking from pool =
`(7)/(12)` gallon of water

Explanation:

Given as :

The amount of Leaking of water from the pool =
`(7)/(8)` gallon

The time taken fro leaking
`(7)/(8)` gallon of water = 1
`(1)/(2)` gallon hour

Or The time taken fro leaking
`(7)/(8)` gallon of water =
`(3)/(2)` hour

∵
`(3)/(2)` hour takes for leaking
`(7)/(8)` gallon of water

∴ In 1 hour the amount of water leaking from pool =
`(7)/(8)\setminus (3)/(2)`

Or, In 1 hour the amount of water leaking from pool =
`(7)/(12)` gallon of water Answer
