Freddie put an empty bucket underneath a leaking pipe. After 3/4 hours, Freddie collected 1/2 cups of water. What is the rate, in cups per hour, at which the water is leaking from the pipe?

0.35 cups/hour

To be able to determine the rate at which the water is leaking from the pipe with the information given, you have to divide the number of cups by the number of hours in which they were collected:
12 cups/34 hours= 0.35 cups/hour
According to this, the answer is that the rate at which the water is leaking from the pipe is 0.35 cups/hour.

Hope this helps!!
