Question

A water faucet leaked 2 1⁄6 liters of water every 1⁄3 of an hour. It leaked at a rate of how many liters per hour?

Answer 1

6.5 liters per hour

Explanation:

First, convert 2 1/6 liters to an improper fraction --> 13/6 liters.

Then multiply everything by 3 to get 13/3 liters per (1/3)(3) hours.

Then simplify the rate to get 6.5 liters per hour.
