Final answer:
A total of 6 gallons of water leaked from the faucet over 4 full days after converting the total leak from pints to quarts and then to gallons using the provided conversion factors.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how many gallons of water leaked from the faucet, we need to perform several conversions from pints to gallons. First, we find the total number of pints leaked over 4 full days. Since the faucet leaks at a rate of 1 pint every 2 hours, and there are 24 hours in a day, the total number of pints leaked in one day is 24 hours / 2 hours/pint = 12 pints. Over 4 days, therefore, the faucet leaks 12 pints/day × 4 days = 48 pints.
Next, we convert the 48 pints into quarts. Since there are 2 pints in a quart, we divide the pints by 2. That is, 48 pints / 2 pints/quart = 24 quarts.
Finally, we convert the quarts into gallons. There are 4 quarts in a gallon, so we divide the number of quarts by 4. Therefore, 24 quarts / 4 quarts/gallon = 6 gallons. So, a total of 6 gallons of water leaked from the faucet over 4 full days.
