Question

A pipe is leaking at 1.5 cups per day. About how many gallons per week is the pipe leaking "hint"1 gal=16 cups

Answer 1

Water lost from pipe per day = 1.5 cups
Water lost from pipe per 7 days = 1.5*7 cups
= 10.5 cups
16 cups = 1 gallon
10.5 cups = 16/10.5 gallon
=0.656 gallon
So the pipe is leaking about 0.656 gallon per week.
