Answer: it will take 126 hours for 168 gallons of water to leak out of the pool

Explanation:

Water leaked out of the pool at the rate of 8 gallons every six hours. This means that the time it takes for a gallon of water to leak out of the pool would be

6/8 = 0.75 hour

If the rate remains constant, the number of hours that it will take the 168 gallons of water to leak out of the pool would be

0.75 × 168 = 126 hours
