Question

A faucet dripped 1.4 cup of water in 1 & 1.2 hours. What is the rate in cups per hour?

Answer 1

0.636 cups per hour

Explanation:

So the dripping rate is 1.4 cup of water in 1 and 1.2 hours, or 2.2 hours. We can find the rate in cups per hour by finding the ratio between the amount of water in cup and the hour

`(1.4)/(2.2) = 0.636 cups/hour`

So the dripping rate is 0.636 cups per hour
