Answer:

10 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

A leaky faucet is losing water and;

filling a 7-gallon bucket  every 21 hrs.

So 7 gallons of water are leaked in 21 hrs

We are to find the number of gallons that will be leaked in 30 hrs.

Cross-multiplying this gives;

[tex]\frac{30 * 7}{21}[/tex] = 10 gallons.
