The aquarium is leaking:
here’s the situation.
=> it leaks 3 quarts per day.
Let’s find the value of water leaked in the aquarium per hour in ounces unit rate:
=> According to unit of measurement conversion
=> 1 quart is equals to 32 ounces
Thus in one day there are:
=> 32 x 3 = 96 ounces of water that leaked in an aquarium.
How many will there be in every hour?
In 1 day = 24 hours
=> 96 ounces / 24 hour = 4
Water in the aquarium leaked 4 ouces/hour.
