Question

Your water hose leaking at a rate of 0.25 cups per hour. How many gallons did your hose leak in a full 24 hour day ?

Answer 1

well, let's first find out how many cups was that in 24 hours anyhow.

so in 1hr the hose leaks 0.25 cups, so in 24 hrs that'd be (24)(0.25) = 6 cups.

Since a gallon has 16 cups, that'd be 6/16 gallons or 3/8 = 0.375 of a gallon.
