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).

Answer: [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] gallons of water per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] 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.

[tex]\frac{3}{4}*2=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
