Question

The faucet drips 1/3 gallon of water in 7 hours what is the unit rate of water dripped per day?

Answer 1

Unit Rate: 8 / 7 gallons/ day

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the number of 7 hours in a day. This is

`\frac{24hrs}{\text{day}}*\frac{day}{7\text{ hours}}=(24)/(7)`

Now we multiply it by the number of gallons dripped per 7 hours (1/3 gallon per 7 hours )

`(24)/(7)*(1)/(3)\text{gallons}`
`=(8)/(7)\text{gallons/day}`

which is our answer!
