Question

The water leaks from the faucet at a rate of 1/2 gal/hr Create a table to show how many gallons of water would leak in 1,2,3 and 4 hours

Answer 1

Given:

The water leaks from the faucet at a rate of 1/2 gal/hr

The total water leaks after (x) hours will be = 1/2 * x

We will find the number of gallons when x = 1, 2, 3, and 4

The table will be as follows:

Hours Gallons

1 1/2 * 1 = 1/2

2 1/2 * 2 = 1

3 1/2 * 3 = 3/2

4 1/2 * 4 = 2
