Answer:

3.2 liters of water :)!

Explanation:

If 0.48 every 3 hours we can do 0.48/3 to find the amount it loses every hour.

0.48/3=0.16

Then if we multiply 0.16 by 20 we will get the amount it loses in 20.

0.16x20=3.2

Hence, it loses 3.2 liters of water every 20 hours.

Hope this helps:)!

Answer:

3.2 liters

Explanation:

The first thing we want to do is find the amount of water it leaks hourly

To do so we divide the amount of water it leaks in 3 hours ( .48 ) by 3

.48/3 = .16

So the faucet leaks .16 liters per hour

Now to find how much water the faucet leaks in 20 hours

To do this we simply multiply 20 by the hourly leakage amount (.16)

.16 * 20 = 3.2

So in 20 hours the faucet would have leaked 3.2 liters of water
