Answer:

The tank flowed out
4(6)/(17) gallons per hour.

Explanation:

We know that

The tank flowed out
18(1)/(2) gallons in
4(1)/(4) hours.

To find the ratio of change, that is, the number of gallons per hour, we just need to divide these quantities as follows


18(1)/(2) / 4(1)/(4)=(37)/(2)/ (17)/(4)=(37)/(2)* (4)/(17)=(148)/(34)=(74)/(17) =4(6)/(17)

Therefore,

the tank flowed out
4(6)/(17) gallons per hour.
