Well you need to multiply 1.25 cups by 24 so you would get 30.
you would then divide that by 0.0625 and get an answer of 480.
I hope this helped a bit.

We Know, 1 cup = 0.0625 gallon
So, 1.25 cup = 0.09375

If it's leaking @ 1.25 cups then in gallons it would be 0.09375 gallons/ hour

So, your final answer is 0.09375 gallons / hour

Hope this helps!
