Answer 1

237.5

Explanation:

Since the bucket loses 0.3 oz of water per second, and 20 secs passed, you would have to multiply 0.3 and 20 to find out how much water leaked. And 0.3x20=6, so then, we would have to subtract 234.5 and 6 to find out how much water there is left in the bucket. 234.5-6=237.5

So 237.5 is your answer
