Question

An above-ground swimming pool is leaking. After 1/2 an hour the pool has leaked 3/4 of a gallon of water. How many gallons of water per hour is the swimming pool leaking?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(2)` gallons of water per hour

Explanation:

If
`(3)/(4)` of a gallon of water are leaked in half an hour, I conclude that if I multiply that by 2, it will give the result of gallons of water leaking per hour.

`(3)/(4)*2=(3)/(2)`

Answer 2

1.5 GPH.

Explanation:

Hello there!

Since we are given the amount that leaked out in half an hour, we can multiply it by 2 to get the final amount in gallons per hour (GPH).
