Answer 2

we are given that

water hose is leaking at a rate of 0.25 cups per hour.

We have been asked to find that

how many gallons did you hose leak in a full 24 hour day.

Since water hose is leaking at a rate of 0.25 cups per hour.

It mean the tank will leak by
`0.25*4=1 \ Cup` in 4 Hours.

So in 24 Hours the tank will leak by
`(24)/(4)*1=6*1=6 \ Cups` .

As we know that 1 Gallon=16 Cups.

It mean in 24 Hours the tank leaked by
`(1)/(16)*6= 0.375 \ Gallon`
