Two buckets filled with a liquid are leaking. The first bucket leaks at a rate of 5/6 gallon per 3/4 hour. The second bucket leaks at a rate of 3/8 gallon per 1/3 hour. Which container leaks water less rapidly?

Ok so just change the fractions into percentages by dividing
Gallons
5/6=83%
3/8=38%
Hours
3/4=75%
1/3=33%

Subtract the percentages with there match.
83-75=8
38-33=5

5>8


So then we now that second bucket

Sorry if I'm wrong
