Question

A barrel had 20 liters of water. Water leaked out from the barrel at a constant rate. After 24 hours, 14 litters of water was left in the tank. How many litters of water leaked out per hour?

Answer 1

Amount of water that were leaked = 20 - 14 = 6 liters.

Amount of time that it was leaked = 24 hours

24 hours = 6 liters

1 hour = 6 ÷ 24 liters
1 hour = 0.25 liters
