Answer:

It loses -0.04 milliliters per minute.

Explanation:

The pipe loses 1 1/5 milliliters (I'mma just call it ml from now on) every 30 minutes. The question is asking how many ml it loses every one minute. To find this, divide 1 1/5 ml by 30. This is very difficult with fractions tho, so convert the fraction into a decimal. (1 1/5 as a decimal is 1.2) Then divide 1.2 by 30 and you get -0.04 ml per minute.

Make sure you put that it loses *negative* 0.04 ml per minute!
